Zsófia Gyenes (b. 1977, Budapest) is a textile designer and visual artist. She completed her studies in Budapest and Paris, graduating from the textile department of ENSAD (École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs) in 2004. After nearly twenty years working as a textile designer in the fashion, interior design, and automotive industries, she embarked on an independent artistic practice in 2022.

Ferenc Gróf (b. 1972, Pécs) founding member of the Société Réaliste, where he developed a distinctive artistic language using linguistic and typographic elements, statistics, and cartographic symbols to examine social processes and reveal connections between the past and present. Following the dissolution of the group, he has retained this perspective, with his works now exploring ideological imprints at the intersection of graphic design and spatiality.  Since 2012, he has been a teacher at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art (ENSA) in Bourges.
