Kinga German Sustainable Identities Site specific space installation
Sustainable Identities Site specific space installation is Silver Design Award winner in 2015 - 2016 Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Award Category.
Sustainable Identities Site specific space installation

Szilárd Cseke’s and Kinga German's work entitled "Sustainable Identities" investigated global issues at the Venice Biennale. Questions of identity were brought into collision with themes of migration, thus alluding to sustainability with the combination of found and recycled objects. White balls continuously moving back and forth inside the seven translucent tubes and a pillow-like foil cushion called attention to collective and individual identity formations. The inner courtyard was designed as interactive space. The project appealed to more than 502000 visitors.

Kinga German

Kinga German is art historian. She used to work closely with her students at the University of Art and Design Moholy-Nagy in Budapest, showing them how the "real work and life" is. She understand art and design as open fields, where overlappings in form and content are normal. Art is for her creativity on a high level and it is a dialogue with the society. Sustainable are projects which involve opportunities to reflect our behaviour and reclaim space for processes of self-determination.
