Erika Baglyas’s works are characterised by the connections between public and private spheres and the paradoxical emphasis on intimacy. “One’s own reality is the only reality, because the only truth is subjectivity”, she writes in a preface to one of her exhibitions. Texts are an essential part of her practice, in which she frequently uses writing. Since 2001 she has been creating conceptual pieces, mostly photographs, videos, installations and performances presented in public places and alternative venues. Baglyas often address issues with a sociological, psychological or philosophical perspective that are found in both public and private collections alike. Alongside her visual arts practice, Baglyas regularly publishes in specialist magazines and has been teaching at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest since 2009. (Kati Izinger)
