Agata Grzybowska<\/a> <\/strong>(b. 1984) Polish visual artist and documentary photographer based in Poland. Represented by Ag Galerie in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her work, she is interested in people. She travels across the world depicting individuals in difficult, often life-threatening situations. While working, her principle is to get as close as possible to people and their stories. She considers herself a medium which enables other, underprivileged voices to be heard. She strongly believes that everyone has the right to their own story. She graduated from the Direction of Photography at the Polish National Film, Television and Theatre School in Lodz. She has showed her works in Poland, Sydney, Los Angeles, Tokio, Tehran, Moscow, Madrid, Athens and Arles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently she has collaborated with  such film directors as Jonathan Glazer, Chlo\u00e9 Zhao, Jessie Eisenberg and Charlie Kaufmann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She graduated from the Direction of Photography at the Polish National Film, Television and Theatre School in Lodz. She teaches history of photojournalism and ways of seeing (culture of visuality) at SWPS University in Warsaw. She is Leica Camera Ambasador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, she works as a freelancer, collaborating with magazines and media platforms in Poland and abroad, i.a. TIME, Telegraph Magazine, CNN<\/em>, Der Spieg<\/em>el<\/em>, World Health Organization, AP, LFI Blog Online<\/em>, Bloomberg UK, Vogue Polska<\/em>, Pismo<\/em>, Tygodnik Powszechny<\/em>, Newsweek Polska<\/em>, Digital Camera Poland<\/em>, Multimedia Gazeta,<\/em> etc., but also focuses on personal projects related to photography and film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as a Shadow, Even as a Dream<\/em> is the debut book by Academy Award-winning director Chlo\u00e9 Zhao (Nomadland<\/em>, 2020), actor Jessie Buckley, and photographer Agata Grzybowska, created during the making of Zhao\u2019s latest film Hamnet<\/em> (2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooted in the expansive dream-work that shaped Zhao\u2019s creative process, the book emerges from a series of artistic rituals shared between these three collaborators, through which Zhao\u2019s cinematic storytelling, Buckley\u2019s mesmerising writings, and Grzybowska\u2019s haunting photographs were made. Brought together in this book, they conjure a parallel telling of the story of Hamnet, the son of William Shakespeare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as a Shadow, Even as a Dream <\/em>unfolds as a quiet companion to the film: not a document of its making, but a powerful reimagining that exists somewhere in the threshold between the worlds of waking and dreaming, reality and illusion, life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
