Biografia
For Kristóf Szabó (KristofLab) analytical observation is also an image creating method. His works are based on photographs or videos that function as a certain memory bank, but they are reconsidered, transformed from time to time, and compressed into a specific, sometimes utopian-like concept. The works interpreted through the observer environment represent an aesthetic line in which the different stacking layers change the original meaning of the starting point. Carrier surfaces and materials for which digital imperfections, reflections, light, and sound are stacked, create works that sometimes go beyond genre boundaries.
His work focuses mainly on two major themes: the cornerstone of man’s identity and his living environment. Social sensitivity is a crucial basis for the grouping of questions around these concepts. It covers topics such as alienation, self-image distortion, ecological problems.
The visual interactions that appear on his installations, paintings and projectors, create a real relationship with the observer and often cause a special space experience. Site-specific works define their work, often transforming the exhibition or performance space into a particular world.
