Bence Magyarlaki’s works reflect the issues of intimacy, social relations and body image, and different body concepts. His sculptures are dynamic representations of a body bending in on itself or intertwined with another, exploring social patterns of belonging. The anthropomorphism of his work invites us to a fluid, emotional and relational reinterpretation of the body.
