Nóra Szabó is a Hungarian artist currently pursuing her doctorate studies at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in Budapest. Szabó is a member of Skurc Group artist-run space located in Budapest. She has been awarded the Barcsay Award and was shortlisted for the Kepesita Collection 2023. Solo and group exhibitions have taken place at AQB Project Space, Budapest; Sopa Gallery, Kosice; PINCE, Budapest; the Fine Art Museum, Budapest.

Szabó’s research includes a dive into the possibilities of contemporary visual representations of the human body in relation to current technological developments. This exploration is conducted within a system of post-human theories. The hypothesis of this intervention is that the natural body undergoes a change in its encounter with artificial materials. This results in the concept of the human body increasingly converging towards a heterogeneous composition that can be visually represented through the combined use of analogue and digital materials.
