Peter Puklus - The Epic Love Story of a Warrior - 2016
The Epic Love Story of a Warrior forges a fragmented photographic voyage through the history of Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th century. As told through the eyes of a fictional family, the hero of the story is an anonymous protagonist: a young European man who longs to journey from East to West. Set against the backdrop of great events that defined the era – WW1, WW2, the rise and fall of communism and sweeping political change – Peter Puklus sets out to unravel the essence of collective memory and longing. Perhaps parts of our protagonist echo parts of Puklus himself, whose own experiences saw his family move geographically, from East to West, and politically, from right to left. Almost naturally then, The Epic Love Story of a Warrior is a story told in reverse. From back to front and right to left, it begins in the present day, and works it’s way back across a century to 1918. Puklus’ photographs are almost always inspired by an arbitrary and seemingly disparate constellation of sources. The images and sculptures in this book have been triggered by found pictures of historical events, memories, and objects. Retrieving these references, Puklus retreats into his studio, and transforms them into a visual language entirely his own.
Peter Puklus, born 1980 in Kolozsvár, Romania, studied photography at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest and New Media Design at the École National Supérieur de Création Industrielle (ENSCI) in Paris. He has published his works in photo books and presented them in numerous solo and group exhibitions—including Foam, Amsterdam, Krokus Gallery, Bratislava, Festival International de Mode & de Photo, Hyères and the Unseen Photo Fair, Amsterdam.
