Photography is the predominant medium of her work and practice – the source, context, material and the resolution of her explorations of societal roles, official histories, cultural shifts, and hidden narratives. Gęsicka eagerly works with archival materials, including images found accidentally on the internet, but also those from stock photo libraries, police archives, and the press. In her most recent project – 'Encyclopaedia' – she has extended her explorations to AI tools that allow her to go further into the realms of the hypothetical and visually uncertain.
She graduated from the Graphics Faculty of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. A winner of Polityka's Passport (Paszport Polityki) 2019 Award in the Visual arts category (2020), EMOP Arendt Award (2019), Foam Talent (2017), Spotlight Award (2017, Belfast Photo Festival) and LensCulture Emerging Talent Awards (2016). Finalist of Prix HSBC pour la Photographie (2017), Pix Levallois (2016) and the ShowOFF section of the Kraków Photomonth Festival (2016). She received a grant from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in 2008. Her works have appeared in The Guardian, The New York Times, Internazionale, Le Monde and many other magazines.
