(click image to see video)
Boycotting Meekness is a series of works that deals with the anger of everyday people and their possibilities for disobedience. It focuses on women, and aims to make unlearn the given image of the beautiful, tame and inert victim. Inspiration is also coming from the current Hungarian socio-political environment in which the weary population is paralyzed by the paternalist, nationalist regime.

DOUBLETAKE
(series of videos and drawings)
2016
Double Take is the moment when an unexpected spectacle steps out from the stream of perception and - though we already went passed it - we turn back to take a look again. My aim is to dig out conventions in everyday life that we are so used to that they become invisible. As examples of these conventions I chose some public statues that are being part of the everyday idyllic urban landscape and I virtually modify them in a subversive way.

The Anatomy of The Flock
4'30" HD videoloop / 2015
(click image to see video)
The video is an animation loop. It is composed of several collage-like scenes. The background is based on a 3D space with textures of photos of real estate advertisements that were downloaded from the internet. The protagonists are invented characters that are painted and animated in 2D. We see them while they exercise self healing, rebirth, purification, being beautiful or simply just 'good'. Their means (tools) are miraculous and esoteric. These absurd time passings are charged with a strange mixture of religion, shamanism and international esotery.

5 paintings / oil on wood / 21 x 30 cm /2010
In 2053 is part of a series dealing with old age and near future. It is a phantasmagoria about how today’s young generation will view things in their late 70’s around the 2050’s. Deriving from the observation that people’s personalities and ideologies tend to stay the same as when they were young the video attempts to imagine the elderly version of today’s teens.
The series contains several small sized aquarelles and 5 detailed portraits of imaginary characters painted in oil. Based on the 5 portraits was created a 5 channel video animation, that is an interview with these characters.
