Social issues, power relations between the individual and the authorities, gender inequality and gender roles lie in the centre of my artistic interest.


BIOGRAPHY

I graduated in 2008 at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest (H) at Visual Communication Department majoring in Photography. In 2009-2010 I spent 8 months in Berlin (D) with the Eötvös Scholarship of the Hungarian State, where I pursued studies at Time-based Institute in the Art and Media Class at Berlin University of the Arts. In 2010 I started my doctoral studies at the Doctoral School of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest (H) and I earned my doctoral degree in Multimedia Art in 2016. Since then I have been teaching as adjunct assistant professor at the Media Art Institute of Kaposvár University (H).
