I’m super excited that the book from my exhibition ‘In Search of Presence’ in Poland, published by Slendzinski Gallery will be available at the Dublin Art Book Fair this year.
The 96-page catalogue presents full spreads of my installation, close-ups, and detailed documentation of all works. It features an essay by James Merrigan, “The Long Pauses of Dorota Borowa,” which explores writing alongside an artist’s practice rather than in direct confrontation; my own text “River Portrait” (an invitation to draw); work descriptions; and a selection of quotes, including those from Roni Horn and Juhani Pallasmaa.
Design, typography, layout, and photo editing: Ewa Pietruszko
Photography: Kamila Dabrowska & Ewa Pietruszko
Text: English + Polish
It’s a catalogue I had the great pleasure of collaborating on with Ewa Pietruszko.

Thank you to the staff of Slendzinski Gallery: to Katarzyna Siwerska, the curator of the show, and to Ewa Pietruszko for bringing this project to life as well as Dawid Bujno and Anna Alimowska for their help.
Many thanks to James Merrigan for writing such a beautiful and thought-provoking essay.
