In 2016 Puklus published his third photobook The Epic Love Story of a Warrior in cooperation with Self Publish, Be Happy, London. This title got shortlisted at the Aperture / Paris Photo Photobook Award 2016.

The most recent and still on-going project of Puklus entitled The Hero Mother – How to build a house received Grand Prix Images Vevey 2017–2018.
Beside the photographic gaze which can always be found in the center of Puklus’ works, he recently started to explore undiscovered territories beyond the wooden frame. His recent projects involve sculptures, objects, paintings, installations, drawings and videos. Either in the gallery space or in a photo-book form, storytelling has a substantial role. Puklus mixes different genres and medias and makes them relate each other.
Puklus is represented by Robert Morat Gallery in Berlin and Hamburg, by Conrads Gallery in Düsseldorf and by Glassyard Gallery, Budapest.
