Endre Koronczi will represent Hungary. Dr. Julia Fabényi, national commissioner and director of the Ludwig Museum—Museum of Contemporary Art, announced that the Jury of the open call had selected the project „Pneuma Cosmic” by curator Luca Cserhalmi. The project is the result of the exhibitor’s long-term artistic experiments, where he studies the movement of air and compares it with the transcendent or thought world. The concept is based on a fictional research revealing the forms of the cosmic breath that fills the entire world and manifests as air movement. The exhibition draws parallels between the movement of air and the transcendent world of thought, drawing attention to the complexity of the experience that arises from intuitively experiencing our environment.
Endre Koronczi was born in 1968 in Budapest, and since the 1990s he has been a leading figure in the conceptual art of the country. In the early 2010s, he started to create wind-based art projects in the form of installations, videos, photographs, open-air projects, and graphics. His exhibition for the Biennale, Pneuma Cosmic, is the next chapter of this artistic research, where he presents an intuitive approach to the natural phenomenon, an associative structure of thought that offers an alternative way to connect with our environment.
