Agnes
Eperjesy

Agnes Eperjesy is a Hungarian artist based in Scotland, working in photography and collage.

As an interdisciplinary artist she is using mediums that enable the subversion of imagery to shift meanings, create different narratives, new visual languages, stories and to look at familiar scenes from new angles. Agnes is working with traditional and experimental processes, investigating the essential concepts of photography and its potential to create poetic space. She tends to approach her work through a humanist lens examining the human experience and our quest for self-discovery.

Her work is largely based on the study of phenomenology, the philosophy of experience. She inquires into the idea of what it may look like if we could strip ourselves from learnt, inherited, socially constructed preconceptions and look at our environment and ourselves more intuitively. Through layering, distorting proportions, double meanings and symbols, she often takes on social commentary, mixed with personal reflections on ideal society and accepted individual behaviour.
