... with Zsófia Keresztes on Mosaics, Memory, and the Venice Biennale
Description
In this episode of WAS MIT KUNST, Johann König speaks with Hungarian artist Zsófia Keresztes, whose large-scale, mosaic-covered sculptures explore the shifting boundaries of identity, transformation, and interconnectedness. Known for her sensuous blend of hard and soft materials—glass mosaics that recall cellular structures alongside fabrics evoking domestic ritual—Keresztes creates spaces where transformation and connection are always in flux.
The conversation dives into the dualities in her practice, her studio process, and how intimacy and control intertwine in her work.
We’re re-airing this episode on the occasion of her new solo exhibition THE CHAMOMILE PROTOCOL at KÖNIG TELEGRAPHENAMT, where she transforms the space into a fragile architecture of healing and tension—an interior world where tenderness and structure coexist, never fully resolved.
