Waiting for the Blinking





2023
Galéria Júliusa Bartu, Štúrovo, Slovakia

           
During my five months stay in Štúrovo, I tried to keep my eyes open at all times. The specificity of this place on the border made me feel sometimes close, sometimes distant. For me, every exchange I experienced on both sides of the boundary was like a blink of the eye, bringing fresh ripples and inspiration.

Dear Believers
The work is a reflection of the symbiotic relationship between the Slovakia-Hungary border. The people I met there may have their invisible national identity, as subtle as the light, but it shines through to their minds with conviction.

I put my greatest impression of the Danube in a basin of water. This work is suspended in the basin as if it had the surface tension of a liquid.



Waiting for the Blinking



The work is based on the mosquito net from my childhood home. After my residency on the Slovakia-Hungary border, I tried to sketch 360-degree view I observed from the region on the net, as a reflection and dialogue between the inner and the outer world. When sitting inside, people can look around the landscape as if they were floating on the Danube.
