When you think of the Netherlands, you think of tulips. In the thirties of the 17th century, the tulip became enormously popular. We call this period the "tulip madness." With this installation, Koros beautifully refers to history. Koros copied a bunch of tulips on a large scale to depict the tulip madness. The "bunch" is also a form of pop art, in which the quantity, size and colors glorify mass culture. A slightly kitschy approach to a historical and tourist symbol.
The Hungarian Péter Koros (1978) and Réka Magyar (1989) have formed Koros Design since 2018 in Budapest. Koros trained as an engineer at the Szechenyi Ivstan College in Györ and then studied furniture design at the university in Sopron, while Magyar recently graduated as a fashion designer at the art academy in Budapest.
Together they make interior and lighting designs, in addition to designing inflatable light objects for theater performances and light and music festivals. Their installations are often enlargements of recognizable, iconic images. They were previously featured at Amsterdam Light Festival 2016-2017 with their pop art-like 'Bunch of Tulips'.
