Summary/Abstract: In this article Dauksza explores realism as an operational concept that not only helps to describe a given work’s intratextual/visual reality in an effective way, but that also allows to describe the relationship artist-work-viewer-reality, the tensions that indicate the direction of the reception process, the artist’s/viewer’s dependence on the work’s materiality and the context of the cognitive situation. Dauksza proposes the term ‘affective realism,’ which she uses to analyse Joanna Rajkowska’s artistic practices. According to Dauksza, Rajkowska uses the laboratory method of arranging the exchange field in order to observe the emerging and thickening network of connections, in order to let tensions materialize and to stage the metaphor of difference.
