Threatening Chad Poisoning of the Family in Sarmacka Street, from the series: Daily News

Basia Banda's art focuses on the problem of body, sexuality and subconscious fears. Daily News is a series of 30 collages inspired by news headlines published by the Malopolska web portals. The sensational headlines report tragic events: accidents, acts of violence or vandalism, natural disasters. The artist focuses on these short headlines and analyses every word and thus constructs a picture of the situation consisting of contextless, seemingly mismatched elements. The artist pursues the path of intutive associations by using the technique of collage.
