G. Szabó Zsuzsanna: more is more
Zsuzsanna G. Szabó: more is more
PUCCS Contemporary Art
January 16–February 20, 2026
The clothing industry produces, artists create—both processes generate endless amounts of byproducts that are inherently wasteful, slowly flooding the world with objects.
Zsuzsanna G. Szabó has long been engaged in a deeper analysis of her main medium, knitting, in various contexts. Her installation at Puccs was inspired by the large amount of experimental knitting that inevitably accumulates in workshops during the production of knitted objects. Looking at the sculpture installation made from these, which fills the entire space, we can reflect on our already visually overstimulated world, the textile industry's environmentally damaging overproduction, chaos, and the beauty inherent in it.
Many knits require a lot of time. The fabrics on display were all made on manually controlled flat knitting machines, bearing the traces of the long, meditative, artisanal work that went into their creation, which gives them added meaning.
Schedule
Zsuzsanna G. Szabó (Budapest, 1990) is a textile artist who graduated from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in 2016 with a degree in fashion and textile design. In 2015, she participated in theater director and visual artist Robert Wilson's summer residency program at the Watermill Center in New York, where she gained experience in costume design and performance art. She works in performance art, installations, and knitwear and costume design, primarily in the field of contemporary dance. Her main area of creation is costume-centered performance. The genre is unique in that the focus is on the shaped material, blurring and dissolving the boundaries between performing arts, visual arts, and applied arts. Her most important creative tool is knitting, but she also works with embroidery and other textile techniques, and she constantly examines and researches the cultural and social significance of these activities. She often reflects on her own life in her works, so her frequent themes are motherhood, femininity, and the ideas based on them.
