Human / Kudász.

Kudász, Gábor Arion, 1978- (Author).

Summary:

"In 2014, photographer Gábor Arion Kudász was approached by Wienerberger, a global brick company commissioning artists to create images related to their business enterprise. At first, Kudász was disenchanted. Bricks and factories didn't seem like a particularly interesting topic to tackle, especially for an artist working between such cinematic and material aesthetics. But the more he thought about it, the more Kudász realized that bricks represent so much more than their immediate, banal form. 'I started to understand that the brick is the metaphor I've always been looking for. It's a simple and humble object, but I can use it to talk about something that is simultaneously personal, local and global. I can talk about things that happened 10,000 years ago, or I can talk about what might happen in the next century.' --LensCulture website (viewed on December 8, 2021)
