Emese Csornai

Emese Csornai is a Berlin-based Hungarian artist. She built her practice of dynamic lighting in part by translating filmic and graphic gestures to stage. She has a strong interest in the ongoing examination of colors and the physiology of their perception. Csornai is part of a lighting designer collective formed around Buda, Kortrijk, and participates in the 4-year research project Reflecting Light (2020-25) in the framework of KASK, Gent. She is co-facilitating a Happynest mentorship project of the Superamas. Her recent lighting work is in collaboration with the stage works of Justine A. Chambers, Tale Dolven, Padmini Chettur, and others.
