Weronika Gęsicka studied graphic design and photogra-phy in Warsaw. In Traces (2017), she uses vintage photos from online archives besides images from 1950s American adverts, magazines and news- papers. She ingeniously transforms moments in time, often by ridiculing the American dream, represented by a gleeful family residing in a detached house with a garden, or by conjuring-up a more sinister side to its rose-coloured outlook to life. • Photography by: @wgesicka , Courtesy of the artist and @jednostkagallery, Text by: @itiryildiz. • Traces is featured in the Spring/Summer issue, Herland. #212Magazine is available worldwide.
