Kíra Krász
_
Kíra Krász (b.1995, Pécs, Hungary) moved to the UK to study Photography and graduated in 2019 from the University of Brighton. Kíra’s work places emphasis upon the physical properties of the photographic print. For her the act of printing an image does not represent a conclusion to a defined process but rather an opportunity for discovery. Her work is made using both digital and traditional darkroom processes. She prints images on old paper, family recipes, cereal boxes and even directly onto pages torn from books. By doing so, she achieves a sense of harmony, or in some cases, deliberate dissonance, between the image and its print, often printing one image several times, on several different materials to observe how it either embraces or rejects different canvases. She also applies methods such as cutting, layering and montage as well as installation.
“My work is focused on the interplay between images and their physical properties. I am curious to explore the possibilities of photography by experimenting with, printing techniques, layering, textures, and installation. I enjoy interacting with the work I am making, cropping and cutting printed images, then putting them in a different context. My aesthetic goal is to reach a state of ‘timelessness’ when it comes to image-making whether it be by choosing aged papers, working with traditional techniques in the darkroom or using the ink and the printer with incompatible materials. I find it easier to describe emotions and ideas when a camera is present, so that is my primary instrument in a process. Portraiture, abstraction, landscapes and nudes have equal importance within my practice to elements such as books, or odd paper. I attempt to determine the genre of a photograph by its context rather than its content.” – Kíra Krász, 2022
