Catalogue for Zuza Golińska's exhibition "Something Soft, Something Alien, Something Dangerous" at the State Art Gallery in Sopot (19.05–06.08.2023). "From the perspective of nonhuman beings, humans take on many roles: friends, enemies, caretakers, oppressors, or simply objects of curiosity. Sometimes, they might evoke no interest at all—a notion some might find most unsettling. In "Something Soft, Something Alien, Something Dangerous", Golińska speculates on public intimacy, drawing on feminist theorist Lauren Berlant’s idea of the intimate, communal nature of historical experience. Through relationships between bodies, objects, and ideas, she explores public intimacy in a posthumanist dimension while reflecting on the social dynamics of the exhibition itself." – Curator Mirela Baciak
