VASA Exhibitions is presenting "Histerium" by Iwony Suszyckiej

The presented under a common name “Histerium” material,  is a result of long term deliberations on the position and the role of women in modern society.

It was born of the need to explore and understand the impact of personality predispositions and external factors on the functioning of today's women.

The name of the project was borrowed from the well-known psychosomatic indisposition known as "Hysteria". The reference to this shrouded in infamy and humorous definitions disease seems to quite accurately reflect the relationship of women with the current world.

On VASA Exhibitions:

VASA, since 2008, has provided an international platform for individual and group exhibitions, collaborative exhibitions with various organizations and galleries and exhibitions that follow a particular theme or inquiry such as “Where Do We Go Now” curated by Rui Cepeda and the “Kharkiv School of Photography: Soviet Censorship to New Aesthetics” curated by Igor Manko and "Why??" curated by Sandeep Biswas.

VASA Exhibitions are international and multicultural.  The curatorial team has strived to present work that not only represents the photographers but also the social, historical and cultural.  As an online international project, VASA works to engage various digital tools.  Video, as an example, not only offers the potential for the presentation of works, it provides the opportunity and framework for the voice of the author to be seen and heard.   Through image, text, sound and animation, VASA works to expand the exhibition paradigm and provide a rich experience for the viewer (as well as the author).

VASA Exhibitions provides a viewing and research environment by archiving all of the exhibitions in their entirety. For example, the viewer may view a 2009 exhibition as it was presented and not just traces of its existence.

VASA Exhibitions (a program in VASA) includes images, videos and sound works.
