Please note that the Hungarian Academy in Rome will be closed on Monday, October 23rd due to Hungarian national holidays.
Metallomorfosi is the latest exhibition by Hungarian sculptor Zosky, a journey into a visionary universe where recycled matter is reborn as art. His works are created through the assemblage of hundreds of salvaged mechanical components – gears, bolts, metal sheets, engine parts – transformed into sculptures of striking aesthetic and symbolic power. Zosky approaches each piece with almost engineering-like precision, carefully designing every joint, every connection, and every structural balance, while at the same time allowing imagination to shape fantastical figures, hybrid creatures, and forms that seem to emerge from dystopian futures.
The world he constructs is deeply rooted in cyberpunk, steampunk, and dieselpunk aesthetics: parallel realities where technology and creativity coexist, where metal becomes the skin, skeleton, and breath of unknown organisms. Each sculpture embodies a dialogue between memory and innovation, between obsolete industrial objects and their rebirth as contemporary art.
With Metallomorfosi, Zosky invites the audience to reflect on the continuous transformation of matter, on the relationship between human and machine, and on the possibility of industrial waste being reborn as visual poetry. It is a path that fascinates not only for the expressive force of its forms but also for the ethical and environmental message it conveys: beauty can emerge from reuse, and the future can take root in the ruins of the past.
