Antal Lakner

(b. 1966)

Is a Hungarian contemporary visual artist known for his conceptual works exploring the relationship between labour, technology, consumption, and social systems. His artistic practice includes installation, sculpture, objects, and participatory projects.

Lakner’s works examine how economic and social structures shape everyday life, often using objects inspired by industrial environments and the culture of work. Through ironic and conceptual interventions, he creates devices and situations that invite viewers to reflect on productivity, efficiency, and the role of the individual in contemporary society.

He studied at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in Budapest and has exhibited widely in international exhibitions. Lakner is regarded as an important figure in conceptual art from Central and Eastern Europe.
