Absences is the comprehensive documentation of the artistic works of Beatrix Bakondy. Her work is determined by the analysis of the space and its constitutive parameters. Bakondy explores, surveys, and samples the spatial coordinates related to architectural, political, or social contexts, and then presents these in the form of drawings, objects, photographs, videos, and large-scale interventions.

The thematic spectrum of her work is informed by the relationship between body and space, the way in which spatial perception is related to the subject, as well as the associated aspect of time. This publication brings Bakondy's new work together wth contributions by 23 artists from the fields of visual arts, photography, theater, film, dance, architecture, and philosophy
