Dominik Zarówny




Dominik Zarowny (b.1991, Poland) is an interdisciplinary artist and fashion designer whose work explores the conflicting emotions of desire and control through media such as object-based installations and performance art.  He is known for curating a mise en scene intensifying the performative nature of his projects.
Zarowny’s work depicts the so-called ‘perverse’ nature of human fantasy by fusing fashion aesthetics and erotic paraphernalia. In his works, Zarowny transcends conventional couture in an attempt to question the conventions of societal norms.

Zarowny is a co-founder of the London-based Djago collective focused on curating exhibitions in abandoned spaces and industrial buildings of Tottenham, North London.

He graduated from RMIT in Melbourne with a Master of Fine Arts in 2023. He exhibited locally as well as internationally in galleries and exhibition spaces such as Spazio Futura (Milan), Grow (London), Fin Gallery (Melbourne), and Le18 (Marrakech).

VERTIGO

“The onslaught of blaring headlines, the unending demands of work, the ties of family and social duties are enough to beat anyone into retreat. But when you withdraw inside yourself, a new chaos ensues. Vertigo is the sensation of spinning inside a vortex of your own experience.

Here, time is cyclical – you may shift and change, but you can never cast away from the recurring patterns of your past. Zarówny’s work develops a personal symbolism, detached from the tumult of the world but inevitably shaped by it. In a show spanning film, painting and mixed media, the artist plays on feelings of suspense and inevitability, knocking expectations off balance to create the sensation of vertigo.”
