Johanna Hedva Kozma      Bio & CV

circumlingual(at)gmail(dot)com




Statement

I work with text and people.
Almost all of my work I make for someone specific whom I love,
or with the aim for an intimacy with my audience that is
like the kind between lovers.
The only physical objects produced by my art practice
that I will allow to be sold are books.

CV

30 years old.
Lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
