Peter Puklus Presented as an installation in the form of sculptural, photographic and performance-based works, Peter Puklus\u2019 The<\/em> Hero Mother<\/em>: How to Build a House <\/em>is rich in metaphor, symbolism, allegory and humour. The photographs are shot entirely in the artist\u2019s daily, family environment, his house and his studio. The Hero Mother<\/em> deconstructs and questions the dynamics and stereotypes regarding social gender and role cliche\u0301s within the traditional, heterosexual family structure: the masculine pater familias<\/em> and master-builder or provider and the heroic mother as muse and primary carer\/nurturer. Puklus pinpoints the challenges related to family today, in a demanding and rapidly changing environment and suggests the reversal of stereotypes and the introduction of alternative models of parenthood and family relations. The broadened photograph field becomes a critical, subversive comment on contemporary relationships, family, and gender and sexual politics.<\/p>\n Though photography lies at the centre of Peter Puklus\u2019 work, his practice mines territories beyond the photographic frame by deploying sculptures, objects, paintings, installations, drawings and, mixing the different genres and medias and making them relate to each other. Whether in the gallery space or in a photo-book form, storytelling plays a substantial role in his expanded photography.<\/p>\n Biography<\/p>\n Peter Puklus lives and works in Budapest, Hungary.
