Approaches contemporary art from multiple perspectives—as an artist, curator, and cultural manager. She graduated from the National University of Arts Bucharest in 1994 and completed the ECUMEST Cultural Management Program Master’s program in Cultural Management in 1998. Since 2007 she has been teaching at the Photography and Dynamic Image Department of UNArte Bucharest, an experience that led her to reassess her artistic activity from the 1990s and 2000s and to return with new projects. Her recent works question the sources contemporary artists draw upon when choosing themes and positioning themselves in relation to context, recent history, art history, and personal mythology.

The viewfinder is a component of the camera that allows the user to select what will appear in the final image. Using viewfinders that she constructs herself, the artist reframes photographic fragments from a past reality in order to reposition them within a recent abstract narrative, in which photographs from the Melancholia series (1997–1999) are also staged.

Through materials inspired by Arte Povera, as well as through the architectural and tactile qualities of these art objects, Aurora Király refers to the photographic process, assimilating it to memory in the process of being formed.
