RECENT PROJECTS;

After failure, the system continues

Dominik Zarówny’s latest drawings explore what remains when punishment gives way to calibration. Bodies are not rejected but adjusted — returned to circuits of performance where error becomes structural rather than exceptional.

In his Brunswick studio, Dominik Zarówny spreads out a stack of drawings made on paper 
— sheets designed to record, correct, and be replaced. The marks are precise but unsettled: bodies measured, segmented, folded back into line.

“I wasn’t interested in a precious surface,” he says, lifting one of the works from the pile
- “I wanted something already complicit — something that understands efficiency, correction, repair.”
The drawings form What Remains After Control, a series of 15 original studio sketches that resist resolution. Rather than progressing toward an image, they loop and recalibrate, operating through repetition instead of
narrative. Corrections remain visible; pressure accumulates.

“I was thinking about how failure is managed rather than allowed,” Zarówny explains - “Not failure as collapse, but as something absorbed and redistributed back into the system. Endurance becomes a requirement, not a choice.”

The series examines how control persists without spectacle. Repetition replaces force; calibration replaces punishment. Bodies are not expelled when they falter, but reinserted and adjusted. Line functions as both circuit and constraint, binding the body while quietly recording fatigue and deviation. Errors are not erased but folded into the structure, becoming evidence rather than exception.

What emerges is a system that survives through endless rehearsal — where escape is simulated but never reached, and where imperfection marks not failure, but persistence.

After failure, the system continues;

A series of 15 original A4 drawings. Each artwork includes a Certificate of Authenticity and is accompanied by an original handwritten text, created specifically for the artwork and included as a separate note.

I – The Snake Line


The body is unrolled onto the altar of the page. It lies bare, a vessel of silent anticipation, while the line coils around it like a serpent, tight and cunning. It hisses, it binds, it does not let go.

Shadows whisper at the edges, secrets scraping at reason. The body shivers, learning the quiet rhythm of surrender, the pulse of obedience, and the small, terrible ecstasy of containment.

II – Seams of Fire


Seams are cut where flesh would rebel.
Each incision hums with silent fire, remembering every past mark, every whispered command.

The body stills, the page drinking each tremor. Obedience rises—not given, but demanded by line and shadow.

III – The Orbit


The pattern circles itself, folding back into its own shadow. Nothing escapes its orbit.

Time bends under the weight of the pattern. The body moves within it, absorbed into the geometry of repetition and return.
