Non Illustrated Art History School Book
- 2015
- 1+ AP 2015 (2018), altered schoolbook (Szabó Attila: Művészettörténet képekben - A kezdetektől napjainkig. Független Pedagógiai Intézet, Budapest, 2004), two versions
The work focuses on the role of photography in our art history knowledge. Removing the reproductions from my former schoolbook results in a lack of visual references, thus breaking the original purpose of the subject with a new kind of aesthetic.

Possible works for Leopold Bloom shortlist exhibition | 2013 - 2018
The proposal for the shortlist exhibition includes separate works, but dealing with the same phenomenon: the different aspects of the photographic medium in reproducing artworks. What is the role of photography in our knowledge of art history and how it transforms a unique piece of artwork to reproducible data. With these works I strive to make visible the transparency of the medium.
