context_page_description: Joanna Zastróżna is a Polish photographer and filmmaker. She graduated in 1997 from the Arts Academy in Gdańsk. Zastróżna resides in Sopot and in Sidi Ifni.
  Zastróżna started exhibiting in 1999, showing the series "Messenger" which was her graduation project. Two more series, "Condensation" and "Marocco", followed. Her distinctive technique is to paint over negatives, with extensive usage of color. Sometimes she uses negative montage as well. The style has been described as "an ambience of surrealism" and "artificial reality". The subjects are typically human figures, and Zastróżna is not interested in their realistic depiction but rather in psychological analysis.
  Zastrozhna participated in a number of major photographical group exhibitions in Poland in the 2000s and the 2010s. Her works are in the collection of The Museum of Art in Łódź.
  In 2013, she directed a short film "Molehill". It was presented at the 19th Busan International Film Festival.
