The book also features original quotes in English, Czech, German, Italian, Polish and Slovak, alongside a selection of lesser-known works by Bartuszová and contemporary artists, ranging from emerging talents to established names. Ruth Noack: "We have yet to understand the full depth and relevance of Mária Bartuszová's contribution to the world, but the research into her work and its international exposition are gaining momentum; consequently, this companion book to Zuzana Križalkovičová's documentary film Stillness in Motion. Conversations on Mária Bartuszová can itself be regarded as a companion to other takes on the artist's oeuvre."
