Attila Csörgő is one of the best-known young Hungarian artists. In 1999, he represented Hungary at the nation’s pavilion at the Venice Biennale; he was awarded the Munkácsy Prize in 2001; he participated at the Istanbul Biennale in 2003, and the Biennale of Sydney in 2008; his Möbius Space earned one of the most important European recognitions in media art, the Nam June Paik Award. His works are based on exploring territories of art and science. He makes experiments with carefully engineered devices of his own design, with cameras and optical apparatuses – investigations attesting to a mindset that is playful and humorous, as well as philosophical. With the often surprising and amusing experiments, he tries to create and visualize motions and phenomena that are imperceptible for the human eye.
In this interview we could get to know his working methodology from the idea through experiments till the objects. Related to his works he speaks about inspiring people, objects, travelings and of course he shows us few objects at his workshop place.
