In the work entitled Burok 8. (Rind 8) György Fusz's aim is no longer to destroy the forms, the forms of the human body – as in the series entitled Deformation (Inv. no. 2017.30.1.) – but to construct, envelop and protect them. The series entitled Rind was started by György Fusz in 2012, with fragile body parts, but also strong and robust “protective covers” for life-size human figures.
