Peter Puklus is an artist living and working in Budapest, Hungary. He studied photography at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest (MOME) and new media design at the École National Supérieur de Création Industrielle (ENSCI) in Paris. He is about to finish his DLA (Doctor of Liberal Arts) studies in photography at MOME. Beside the photographic gaze which can always be found in the center of Puklus’ works, he recently started to explore undiscovered territories beyond the wooden frame. His recent projects involve sculptures, objects, installations, drawings and videos. In 2012 he published two photo-books: ‘One and a half meter‘ with Kehrer Verlag and ‘Handbook to the Stars‘ with Stokovec. At the moment he is working on his third book ‘The Epic Love Story of a Warrior‘ to be published in 2016. Puklus is represented by Trapéz Gallery in Budapest and Robert Morat Gallery in Hamburg and Berlin and by Conrads Gallery in Düsseldorf. Haunting Monumentality III - The Realm of Abstraction - exhibiting artists: Adrián Kiss, Márton Nemes, Péter Puklus, Péter Szabó, Ádám Ulbert curator: Áron Fenyvesi Haunting Monumentality was a group exhibition which first premiered in Galeria Plan B, Berlin in 2012, but since it's first edition it emerged to become a long-term curatorial research project, minimum a circle, now rather a saga of exhibitions arriving to it's third stage of evolution in No Gallery of MSU, Zagreb, after recently appearing also in Club Electrouptere in Craiova. The exhibition-series in generel analyze the function of social memory through the art practices of the exhibitors and how their, our cognitive abstraction connected to history becomes manifest through visual signes and symbols in different spaces of different instituions. The first edition questioned the existence of a collective memory based on consensus, the second already negates such a possibility and rather declares the impossibility of any total consensu
