Following the decision of the Civil Registry Office in Łódź, I changed my name and surname. How did it happen? In 2010, during my photography studies at the Film School in Łódź (2010-2015), I used the name and surname “Marcela Paniak” for the first time, which stayed with me not only photographically, but also privately. This year, after completing my doctoral work at the Film School in Łódź (2016-2020) on photography and identity, I decided not only to pay attention to what is true and what is false when it comes to presenting the image in contemporary world, but also to simply unify my identification in an official way. I never did anything such intense for myself as I did it now.
