Practices of Unlearning (2025)

If we want to learn something, we know that it requires practice. It's no different with the reverse movement, unlearning, especially when we're talking about trying to get rid of such established habits as functioning in or thinking about the world.
Ernest Borowski's art is a practice of questioning dogmas, unsealing reality, violating the established world order based on the culture-nature dichotomy, in which man occupies a central place. It's about entering the darkness and looking for new possibilities in it, seeing many different worlds that can coexist.
The artist's works are created from clay derived from the earth's crust, 3D prints, electronics, computer graphics and sounds, which, entangled together, appear as assemblages of strangeness that elude categorization.
