Permanent Resident - Rainbow tours

RAINBOW TOURS / collective bordercrossing-ball game, 2011, Budapest action sequence of placing a rainbow-colored, spotted ball into embassies' territory 

This series of actions is intended for breaching the perimeter of embassies with a dotted ball painted to the colors of the rainbow. International laws regarding diplomacy state that the territory of embassies officially belongs to their respective mother countries. Towers of outplacement in the war of bureaucracy. What if something trivial happens, an event unforeseen and ungoverned by any paragraph, like a dotted ball bounces over the fence and into the garden of an embassy? It is a bug in the system that can be amended in a single way; by throwing the ball back outside, without showing a hint of suspicion. Thus, by this deliberate, tactical frivolity, the hallmarks of power within our surveillance-based society fall victim to flippancy for a few minutes. These short and inconsequential events are meant to question the legitimacy of elite establishments; to express the desperation of the everyman who is exposed to the often dire consequences of power struggles spiraling out of control..

Obscene

C-print, postcards, joy-fanzine, made for an exhibition about prostitution in Demo Gallery Budapest

Obscene is a latin expression, means, behind the scenes. We have chosen this title for a work which is a documentation of our co-operation with a madame, to show all the struggles we faced during the communication with people who has basic different values and strategies in life, people who are ones of the poorest workers of sex industry.

We wanted to borrow and exhibit a property of this madame, a painting, which represents Virgin Mary. But we did not get financial support from the organisers activists and curators of the exhibition: finally only the photographic reproduction of the painting was put on the wall of the gallery. We've also made postcards of the painting, that we were selling in the non-profit gallery. The form of the commercialised picture market visualized the cash flow, the only way of communication of the parties in this story. Additionally we have hacked a Joy magazine with our ideas, main sentences, and most important moments of the nearly one month working process.
