Most recently, Eszter has been focused on creating environments that feel novel, adventurous and immersive, encouraging a state of in-the-moment presence and unfiltered being.
Through her work on ‘Horses’ for Snap-Elastic and ‘the halcyon days’ for ghostbag, as well as site-specific commission from Hidden Door ‘we have all been here – now into the light’ , Eszter has been exploring multi-disciplinary ways of creating novel experiences through experimenting with form, working with public space and the outdoors, and integrating public participation.
