The Only Way Out is a graphic novel published in 2022 by the National Museum in Warsaw and Krupa Gallery. Based on the final novel by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy), it was created from a script by Wojciech Sztaba. The entire graphic novel—including all illustrations and the hand-lettered text—was created by Pola Dwurnik. The project was curated by Zofia Machnicka and Paweł Polit.

Rather than offering a literal adaptation, the graphic novel transports Witkacy’s characters into the present day. At the same time, Dwurnik draws extensively on Witkacy’s artistic legacy, incorporating references to his paintings and drawings to create her own distinctive visual interpretation of his novel.

Unhappy Ending is a poetry collection by Ania Malinowska, accompanied by gouache paintings by Pola Dwurnik. The poems (written in English) explore themes of break up, heartbreak, and the emotions that follow, from despair to anger, while Dwurnik’s drawings create a visual counterpart to the poems’ sombre atmosphere.

Girl on Canvas is an artbook project by Pola Dwurnik about painting and its reception. It explores an aspect of her paintings that is beyond the artist’s control, the life of her works in the minds of viewers willing to actively engage with them.

Over thirty different contributors have written about their intellectual and emotional responses to Pola Dwurnik’s paintings. The result is a brave, intimate collection of stories, a personal, roguish, subversive yet subtle riot.

Pan Marcin documents a late-night conversation Pola Dwurnik had with the legendary Polish poet Marcin Świetlicki at the Hipnoza jazz club in Katowice. The artist highlights the humorous and absurd aspects of the encounter while simultaneously portraying the renowned poet and his distinctive conversational style. The book also includes an afterword written by Pola Dwurnik.

This book-format planner for 2018, conceived as an art book, was the idea of Swiss author Daniela Pfeil. In addition to a week-by-week calendar for the year 2018, the publication includes essays, short stories, and poems by Daniela Pfeil (in German), as well as drawings and watercolours by Pola Dwurnik. The book was designed by Swiss graphic designer Lorenz Peter.

This book tells the story based on a humorous episode from Pola Dwurnik’s life. One night at a club, the artist notices her favourite visual artist and poet, Wojciech Bąkowski. She desperately wants to approach him, but is too shy to do so. The protagonist’s inner monologue is filled with references to Bąkowski’s poems and song lyrics, however the work has a gently parodic and self-ironic tone.

Living in Basel is a collection of drawings made by Pola Dwurnik during her artist residency at the Laurenz House Foundation in Basel in 2004 and 2005. The publication resembles a travel sketchbook: the artist wanders through Basel and its surroundings, drawing outdoors the places, people, and moments she wishes to remember. The book opens with an essay by Emilie Buri and was published by Christoph Mercian Verlag in Basel. 

Gossip Column is an artist’s book bringing together several dozen drawings by Pola Dwurnik, originally published in the online art magazine Obieg in 2007 and 2008. The project was curated by Adam Mazur, whose introductory essay opens the book. Each drawing or a story is based on real events and authentic conversations. Combining documentary observation with humour and irony, the book offers a vivid portrait of the Polish art scene of 2007–2008. Artists, curators, critics, and institutions appear through a series of concise visual narratives that capture the atmosphere, relationships, and everyday realities of that particular moment in the history of Polish contemporary art.

In 2024, the complete series of drawings featured in Gossip Column was acquired by the Museum of Warsaw for its collection.

Świetlica is Pola Dwurnik’s first artist’s book. It is a collection of pencil drawings created in the space known as the Raster Common Room (Świetlica Raster), the second venue of Warsaw’s Raster Gallery. The drawings document successive days spent in the gallery, recording conversations and dialogues that the artist overheard and noted down. The depicted scenes capture everyday life at the gallery, rendered quickly in a single, fluid pencil stroke. Alongside the gallery owners, Michał Kaczyński and Łukasz Gorczyca, the portraits include prominent figures from the Polish contemporary art scene, such as Paulina Ołowska, Agata Bogacka, Zbigniew Libera, and others.
