A warm welcome to Hanna Rédling! The Budapest-based visual artist has been selected to spend a month in The Hague as part of our residency exchange with Budapest Galéria. During her stay, she will be working on her ongoing project Our Blood Still Flows.

Curious to meet Hanna and see the process of her work? You are very welcome to visit the Open Studio on Saturday 4 July, between 13:00 and 18:00 at 1646.

This residency is a collaboration between Budapest Galéria and 1646. This initiative allows an artist from The Hague to spend a month in Budapest and hosts a Hungarian artist in The Hague, fostering innovative practices and global networks. We will announce soon who is heading to Budapest (in September 2026) from The Hague!

Info

Hanna Rédling is a visual artist based in Budapest, Hungary. Her practice explores the vulnerability and defense mechanisms of the human psyche in an increasingly digital and uncertain world. She reflects on themes of nostalgia, memory, identity, and femininity, with a focus on emotional undercurrents and transitional states of the human condition. Rédling is particularly interested in how liminal spaces and tactile materials can reflect complex psychological processes. By combining photography, 3D, video, and experimental manual imaging techniques, she constructs layered microcosms in which time and space, reality and fantasy begin to blur. Recently, she has been exploring the body as a messenger of the unconscious, examining how it absorbs and reflects formative wounds, desires, and the anxieties of hyperconnected digital existence.

Rédling graduated from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest with a BA and MA in photography, and also studied at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. She was awarded a scholarship by the Association of Hungarian Photographers (2020), and received the Pécsi József Photography Scholarship (2021, 2022, and 2024). In 2022, she was selected as one of the Futures Photography Talents. Her work has been exhibited in numerous national and international exhibitions, and featured in publications such as the British Journal of Photography, Calvert Journal, IGNANT, and Dazed Digital. She is represented by Deák Erika Gallery (Budapest, Hungary).
