Sári Ember
About the artist
Sári Ember (1985, São Paulo, lives and works in Budapest) graduated in photography from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest. Her practice spans a range of media, including stone, ceramics, textiles, photography and paper collage. Ember’s work uses the narrative capacity of constellations of objects to not only question the nature of representation, but also to deconstruct classic genres such as portraiture and still life. Drawing on personal and collective histories, her works offer interpretations of memories, traditions and rituals.
In 2017 she won the Campari Art Prize in Turin and in 2019 the Leopold Bloom Art Award in Hungary. She has participated in several residency programs, including AIR FUTURA in Prague, Q21 / Museums Quartier in Vienna, Litomyšl Symposium in the Czech Republic, Labmis residency and Tofiq House Atelies in São Paulo. Her work has been shown internationally in solo and group exhibitions in São Paulo, New York, Paris, Łódź, Brno, Berlin, Bratislava and Budapest.
