The booklet BIAŁO_REC_1 is a process-based record of an “on the ground” research visit to Białowieża Forest in the Podlaskie region in Poland in Jan/Feb 2023. Białowieża is a vast woodland located at Europe’s eastern border which is home to some of Europe‘s most fragile (endangered) species and habitats, yet is also the backdrop to a highly militarised and hostile environment to people on the move.

24 smartphone camera images act as a visual residue and show signs and traces of this charged geopolitical environment. On the cover of the booklet, there are words gleaned from both subjective in situ and reflective, remote research which come together as a bilingual (EN, PL) glossary.

Proceeds from the book will be donated to support the work of humanitarian NGOs working in the area around Białowieża.
