Aron Lodi's practice spans installation, image-making, writing, publishing, and curatorial collaborations. His work engages with the contradictions of contemporary society, oscillating between horror stories and emancipatory possibilities. While dealing with contemporary ideologies and the heritage of the Eastern Bloc, he often references concepts of gothic Marxism, new materialism, and utopian politics. He materializes this conceptual framework through an aesthetic inquiry into cultural and material memory. He combines sculpted or "fabricated", and found elements, creating interconnected visual narratives. Through his works, he aims to construct and deconstruct stories about individual and collective agency in the face of contemporary crises.

In his recent project Metallurgia, he explores Hungary’s haunted present through the lens of a workers union at the country’s largest steel plant confronting a financial crisis boosted by global mechanisms and anti-democratic policies. He combines fieldwork with world-building techniques inherent to fiction writing to speculate on the spectral potential of alternative histories or temporalities. He uses the conceptual framework of ‘industrial gothic’. A literary genre that emerged in the 18th century to capture and strategically highlight the violence of industrialization. Through a variety of sculptural, text- and image-based works, Lodi aims to depict how the turbulent past and the lingering presence of utopian ideas coalesce within the walls of the factory.
