Displacement and Discoveries I use various camera formats (film and digital), 35mm slide projections and multiple exposures to examine the culture in which I live. I was raised in a Polish speaking home, yet everywhere else English was the designated language. As a migrant child I found myself pulled between the contrasting demands for linguistic assimilation made by the United States and those for linguistic preservation made by the Polish community and my extended family. Language is able to connect people transnationally to or disconnect them from other people and places. By using multiple exposures, layers and various photographic processes I try to bring a certain cohesion to the dual frame of reference, through which I compare my life experiences, events and situations from the points of view of both my society of origin and my host society. This work did not spring from a solely intellectual exercise but rather from a personal exploration of myself and to the culture(s) in which I live.

Ursula Sokolowska was born in Krakow, Poland. She studied photography at Columbia College (1997-99), completing her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2001. Although her work is deeply personal, her images are also a reflection of separation of the body from consciousness and objectification. Her photographs can be found in many public and private collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Tanqueray. Selected exhibitions include The Travelling Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland, Saatchi Gallery, Zoo Art Fair, the Royal Academy of Arts, London, United Kingdom, Minnesota Center for Photography, and Schneider Gallery, Chicago, IL. Her work has appeared in CameraArts magazine, Light & Lens: Photography in the Digital Age, LENSCRATCH, Art Photo Index, and featured in People's Photography China.
