Tímea Anita PIRÓTH
My interest is in mapping dissonances that tip out of systems, questioning personal and social relationships taken as a norm about body, aggression and sexuality. Kristeva’s definition of abject resonates the most with my artistic research. My goal is to show the doubt and visceral feeling caused by encountering disgust or abnormality. With my sensual, experimental / intuitive use of material, I strive to experience this feeling beyond the concept. I select my motifs / visual references from pop-culture, moving genres (horror, porn, sci-fi..).
