The performance is a live process unfolding in time, exploring through personal stories, images, and presence what it means to be visible.<\/p>\n

Fragmented visual and sonic materials from my previous works appear within the space, constructing not a linear narrative, but rather a layering of experiences\u2014resting on the threshold between presence and absence.<\/p>\n

During the performance, I work and create within the space: the process itself becomes visible, rather than a pre-fixed form. I am not playing a role; I am simply present.
\nThe emphasis is not on representation, but on connection: that subtle, often elusive space where personal experience meets the viewer\u2019s attention.” – B\u00e9la V\u00e1radi <\/p>\n

The project is being assisted by first-year students of the MKE’s curatorial studies program.<\/p>\n

The festival is co-funded by the European Union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
