The Absence Me — A Book in Dialogue

Forthcoming publication in collaboration with Kapallorek Artspace
Soft Launch: July 2025
Official Launch: September 2025 at Rhythm of Identity, Kunstpakhuset, Ikast, Denmark

“What begins in silence doesn’t always stay there.”

The Absence Me is an upcoming publication by Amir Zainorin in conversation with Milo V. Poulsen. It is not a memoir, nor a catalogue, but something in between—a poetic, at times absurd, at times painfully honest dialogue between artist and critical companion.

Together, they explore five major artworks, revisit unexhibited pieces, and open the archive of memory, displacement, and fragmented identity. The book blends image, text, contradiction, and reflection—held together not by linearity, but by presence.

It is co-published with Kapallorek Artspace, who generously support the project by providing ISBN registration and guidance in making the book part of Malaysia’s public archive.

The official launch will take place in September 2025, during Amir’s solo exhibition Rhythm of Identity at Kunstpakhuset, Denmark.
