Flóra Borsi's Solo Exhibition 'Pieces of My Mind' Showcases Photo Manipulation at ART350

In 2014, Hungarian artist Flóra Borsi unveiled her solo exhibition 'Pieces of My Mind' at ART350, featuring photo manipulations that explore the surreal while expressing emotions, dreams, and humor. At just twenty years old, Borsi's work exhibits a striking aesthetic coherence, with highlights such as the 2013 series 'Des Monstres,' showcasing backlit female nudes adorned with silken extensions. Other significant pieces include 'Push and See' (2014), 'Subjective Freedom I & II' (2013), and 'Essäché' (2013), where she often models herself, engaging with identity through surreal imagery. Her 2013 untitled portrait of a gloomy greyhound in a velvet jacket adds a humorous touch. The exhibition's strength lies in Borsi's formal balance, challenging perceptions while revealing the subconscious. ART350, an unconventional venue with a grand piano and minimal curatorial influence, hosted the show. Borsi's work echoes historical figures like John Stezaker, Hannah Höch, and Sergei Eisenstein, highlighting simplicity in contrast. This article first appeared in the Summer 2014 edition of ArtReview.
