Anna Pakosz: Long Takes

In this episode, artist Anna Pakosz joins host Victoria Comstock-Kershaw to discuss how her journey from Hungary to the UK, beginning with the Tracey Emin Artist Residency in Margate, shaped her evolving practice. Anna reflects on how movement, gesture, and material experimentation, from dance to rust and blackboard paint, converge in her work to explore presence, rhythm, and transformation. Pakosz opens up about finding her voice in London’s fast-paced art scene, the shift from structured environments to artistic independence, and the balance between control and surrender in her creative process. Pakosz also shares insights on her debut solo exhibition Long Takes at Deák Erika Galéria in Budapest, and her plans for future residencies in warmer places. A conversation about process, vulnerability, and trust, in materials, in the body, and in the unknown.
