Curatorial context
The exhibition "Attila Csörgő" showcases the multidisciplinary practice of the Hungarian artist, who delves into scientific and technological concepts with a distinctive blend of humor and irony. Through photography, sculpture, and drawings, Csörgő probes areas such as kinetics, optics, and geometry, using continuous experimental setups to question perception and the construction of reality. Phenomena that are imperceptible to the human eye, such as light patterns or energetic processes, are made visible through scientific and mathematical calculations, often assembled from everyday materials.
Csörgő emphasizes the transparency of his artistic process, differentiating his work from 'black boxes' like computers or technical devices. He builds systems that are meant to be understood, opening them up to reveal the conceptual considerations and mathematical underpinnings. The exhibition highlights "Clock-work," a new experimental clockwork piece developed for the Secession, which continues his research into the combination of light and movement. This work, along with others, places the lemniscate—a symbol of infinity and a mathematical form—at the center of his exploration of perceptual phenomena. Csörgő contrasts the fleeting nature of human endeavors with the stability of mathematical ideas, often using 'poor' materials to create a strong tension between ephemeral thoughts and concrete forms.
