KONNYU 珂纽
A Collection of Artworks, Cinematics and Essays
Gallery Erdesz & Design (HU) Rainbow Press (USA), 2018
Published in 2018 by Gallery Erdesz & Design (Hungary) in collaboration with Rainbow Press (USA), this volume presents a comprehensive overview of the artist’s interdisciplinary practice. The book brings together artworks, cinematic explorations, and critical essays that reflect the conceptual and visual framework of the artist’s work.
The publication documents a body of work that moves fluidly between visual art, filmic language, and philosophical reflection. Through images, texts, and archival material, the book offers insight into the artist’s ongoing investigation of perception, cultural memory, and the poetic dimension of contemporary art.
As both an artist’s book and a scholarly document, the volume situates the work within a broader international context and provides an important reference for curators, researchers, and readers interested in contemporary artistic practices.
