Artist: Mónika Sziládi

Description

PROJECT: In Wide Receivers she examines how society and human behavior are becoming simultaneously tribalized and atomized amidst the ever increasing noise of self-broadcasting. The photographs are digital collages constructed from images shot at public relations and networking events and at meet-ups of subcultures that were formed and (or) are operating as a result of social connectivity on the Internet.

In 2008 she received the Gesso Foundation Fellowship to attend Skowhegan and she is a 2012 resident at Smack Mellon. She is a winner of The Philadelphia Museum of Art Photography Competition (2010), a recipient of the Alice Kimball English Traveling Fellowship (2010) and a Juror's Pick by Julie Saul and Alec Soth, Work-in-Progress Prize, Daylight/CDS Photo Awards.
