Ditta Sarfenstein
Inventory
Cairo Contemporary, Budapest
2025 11 21 - 2026 01 04
Sarfenstein Dittas' work deals with questions such as: Do our material possessions define us? Can our objects describe and characterize us? How do our objects influence each other, and how do we imbue our everyday objects with our own personalities?
The overlapping of colours and shapes results in an illusionistic spatial game, evoking a quasi-virtual composition in the emptied exhibition space. The process of creating the Inventory can be compared to the structure of memory: encoding, storage, retrieval. During the latter, the artist draws her objects in space with her pen.
Sarfenstein Ditta graduated in 2025 from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts with a degree in sculpture, where she studied in Ádám Szabó's class. During her studies, she researched ways of visually representing the contrast between virtual and real concepts using sculptural tools, and she also combines traditional craft techniques with modern tools. The technique she used to create his diploma project, Inventory, could be described as the culmination of these two areas of research: hand drawing in space with a 3D pen. In addition to Budapest, she studied fine arts in Munich, Groningen, and Antwerp.
