ARTIST PROFILE

Ottó Szabó

  • Hungary (b. 1989 in Szekszárd)
  • Currently in Budapest, Hungary.
  • I create kinetic sculptures and installations, often having sassiness, playfulness to it. The materials I use are considered as trash, they’ve lost their original function and meaning but during the recycling/up cycling process they gain a new mission.
