Mia Dudek is a Polish-born artist, living and working in Lisbon since 2019. She holds an MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art in London (2016) and a BA from London College Communications (2012). In her practice, spanning photography, sculpture and painting, the artist probes the relationship between the body and the architectural fabric, while exploring notions of intimacy, displacement and inhabiting.
Most recently, Dudek made a significant departure from the medium of photography – so far integral to her research on the body and space – in favour of painting. This shift was born from a reflection on bodily inefficiency – not as a disability, but as a liminal state in which the subject is forced to reformulate their own understanding of the body, purpose and identity. Dudek’s images do not represent, but act as organic events, bodily discharges that materialise from the tension between the visible and the invisible.
