Rare acquaintances, vanishing companions. I know some of their residences, stations they left behind during their wanderings, although it is hard to know whether they indeed move on or if they are simply silenced by my presence.</p><p>Our relationship is peculiar; sometimes they scare me, other times they show me something. They know the cracks in which they can dissolve, the flashes, the density and scarcity of noises in which they stride. They slip away in the sound of footsteps, in scratches, in the pressure of my body.</p><p>As of now, I am once again looking for them.</p><p>photos: Gergő Fülöp</p><p>//</p><p>Donnák János: Valami bent</p><p>Bent a bentlakókkal találkoztam (egyesek yōkai-ként is ismerhetik őket). Ritka ismerősök, eltűnő társak. Ismerem néhány lakhelyüket, vándorlásaik során hátrahagyott állomásaikat. Ámbár nehéz eldönteni, hogy tényleg továbbállnak, vagy jelenlétemre egyszerűen elnémulnak.</p><p>Furcsa a kapcsolatunk; néha megijesztenek, máskor megmutatnak valamit. Ismerik a repedéseket, amiben felszívódhatnak, a villanásokat, a hangok sűrűsödését és ritkulását, amiben tempóznak. Elillannak a léptek zajában, a kaparásokban, a testem nyomásában.</p><p>Most éppen keresem őket újra.</p><p>fotók: Fülöp Gergő</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>Andrea Lilla Szilák: Monster, 31.01.2023 &#8211; 28.02.2023</title><link>https://gergofulop.com/portfolio/andrea-lilla-szilak-monster-31-01-2023-28-02-2023/</link> <pubDate>Sun, 02 Apr 2023 13:39:39 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[gergő]]></dc:creator> <guid

It’s presence leaves an ambivalent feeling: although intrusively large, yet it seems as if it does not want to be visible. Taking a closer look, the surface of its skin is also strange: it is punctured, so his body has become translucent, and became as much &#8220;is&#8221; as &#8220;isn&#8217;t&#8221; and as much wanting to exist as to disappear. His impersonal objectivity is multi-layered: the resigned man of our time, who is heaped under his past, present and future, and posesses a great power, but sometimes losing control over it.</p><p>It would be difficult to say whether the insults to its body were caused by the outside world or by its self-mutilating, self-destructive actions, but apparently they are manifested as absence. The nature of the resulting void is twofold: what is a loss in terms of substance, is a chance to free oneself from the burden on the way to liberation. No one knows whether the Monster is mourning its losses, or whether it is merely in silent contemplation, waiting for something. It will not give an answer, that is certain.</p><p>Cover image: Jan Amos Comenius – Orbis sensualium pictus (Anima hominis/ The Soul of man)</p><p>photos: Gergő Fülöp</p><p>//</p><p>„<em>A romantikus sületlenségeimmel, a kötődéseimmel, a láncaimmal, úgy kószálok közöttük, mint egy prehisztorikus szörnyeteg.</em>” (Michel Houellebecq)</p><p>A Szörnyeteg a Kavicsban talált menedéket. Jelenléte ambivalens érzetet kelt: tolakodóan nagy, mégis, mintha nem akarna látható lenni. Közelebről megvizsgálva, bőrének felülete is különös: a rajta ejtett szúrások által, a teste áttetszővé vált, legalább annyira „van” mint „nincs” és legalább annyira szeretne létezni mint eltűnni. Személytelen tárgyszerűsége többrétegű: korunk rezignált embere, aki roskadozik múltja, jelene és jövője alatt, hatalmas erővel bír, de ezzel az erővel olykor kevéssé tud bánni.</p><p>Nehéz lenne megmondani, hogy testét ért sértéseket a külvilág, vagy önmarcangoló, önsorsrontó tettei okozták-e, szemmel látható azonban, hogy azok hiányként jelentkeznek rajta. A keletkezett űr természete kettős: ami az anyag szempontjából veszteség, az esély a tehertől való mentesülésre a felszabaduláshoz vezető úton. A Szörnyről senki sem tudja, hogy a veszteségeit fájlalja-e, avagy csupán csendes merengésbe vonult, és vár valamire. Válaszolni nem fog, annyi bizonyos.</p><p>Borítókép: Jan Amos Comenius – Orbis sensualium pictus (Anima hominis/ Az ember lelke)</p><p>fotók: Gergő Fülöp</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>Marina Sztefanu: Endless forest, glimmering water, 07.04.2022 &#8211; 08.05.2022</title><link>https://gergofulop.com/portfolio/marina-sztefanu-endless-forest-glimmering-water-07-04-2022-08-05-2022/</link> <pubDate>Thu, 21 Jul 2022 16:10:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[gergő]]></dc:creator> <guid

Can be that we are still frightened, but maybe there is something in there that can not be found anywhere else, and we want exactly that. A lake, that is good to see, noises, that are good to hear. Something calming perhaps.</p><p>//</p><p>Rengeteg erdő, ragyogó víz</p><p>Honnan jön a vágy, hogy mosolyogjunk a fákra és befussunk az erdőbe, amitől amúgy sokáig féltünk?

Which is only good for asking questions about the past, and look into the future with questions in mind. Action is not an option. You’re not even sure how you get here, you start to understand only when it’s about to end. In best case. This space is morphing since the beginning, like those rocks chiseled by salty water, smooth here, sharp like knife there. The world you knew up until this time, is only accessible through memories now. During the time spent here, the outside world ceases to exist. Everything you knew becomes alien. A perpetually moving image in a box-like environment. If you look out on the landscape, the shapes and colours mix together, they change into combed forms, melt into ribbons, interrupted by a cut here and there. After that comes a beat, bouncing sharply or softly, and then back again. The whole scene freezes, only tests your attention. You feel yourself for a fraction of time.</p><ol><li>You can’t move, it’s like you’re paralyzed.</li><li>You’re sitting on some convex, soft matter.</li></ol><p>And then again. The flashing images and questions melt into one. There’s no border between them, they become new concepts. From the rushing pictures, one stiffens again and that’s it: you’re calm. Reached a point where you no longer know that you’re you. When this state of mind passes, you realise that you just stared blankly. Or something like that.</p><p>//</p><p>A cselekvés nem opció</p><p>Van egy hely, ahova bárki elkerülhet. Ami csak arra jó, hogy visszanézve kérdéseket tegyél fel és kérdésekkel állj előre tekintve. A cselekvés nem opció.  Azt, hogy hogyan kerültél ide, pontosan te sem tudod, csak a vége felé jössz rá. Jó esetben. A kezdetek óta alakul ez a tér, mint azok a kövek, amiket a sós víz hosszú csepegése alakított ki, hol puhára, hol tűélesre. A világ, amit e pillanat előttig ismertél, innen már csak a korábbi emlékeken keresztül azonosítható. Az itt töltött idő alatt a külvilág megszűnik létezni, az eddig ismert idegenné válik. Dobozszerű környezetben állandóan mozgó kép. Ha kinézel a tájra, az alakok, színek összemosódnak, átfésült formává alakulnak, szalaggá olvadnak, helyenként megtörve egy vágással, utána jön egy élesen vagy puhábban pattogó ütem, majd újra vissza. Az egész kimerevedik, és csak túráztatja a figyelmed. Pillanatnyi időtöredékig érzékeled magad.</p><ol><li>Nem tudsz mozogni, olyan, mintha megbénulnál.</li><li>Puha, domború anyagon ülsz.</li></ol><p>És aztán újra, a felvillanó képek és kérdések összeolvadnak. Nincsen határ köztük, új fogalmakká alakulnak. A rohanó képek közül az egyik megint kimerevedik és kész: lenyugodtál, eljutottál addig, hogy már azt sem tudod, hogy te vagy. Mikor elmúlik ez az állapot, akkor jössz rá, hogy csak elbambultál. Vagy valami hasonló.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>Gergő Fülöp: Lamp Grove, 2021 January</title><link>https://gergofulop.com/portfolio/lamp-grove-2021-january/</link> <pubDate>Thu, 28 Jan 2021 20:19:00 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[gergő]]></dc:creator> <guid

At least ours, because it’s our workroom too. It bathes in monitor and table lamp light in the evenings, and we think almost all our thoughts for the first time there. An unlikely grove which fuels our everyday life, but more so, a fabled spot where our selves are getting made day to day. The spring, from what we crawl out every morning, a tiny little bit different each time.</p><p>animation is joint work with <a

And to what direction, and how this fact influences our lives, is an equation with many unknowns, multiplied by chance.</p><p>Be it good, bad or everything in between, we can’t just step out of it. And if the equation goes badly, we receive an ever-present, tough frustration for an unseparable partner. In his installation, Davide di Votti revolves around this topic. The potential disharmony of mind and body. He tries to grasp and, to some extent, process the inevitability of this feeling.</p><p>His aim is to make it experiencable as much as it is possible. To condolence with the ones in the same boots, articulate that they are not alone, and for the others at least to try to achieve that they won’t judge so quickly, to realize that the burden is already heavy without them.</p><p>part of the program of <a

He started to decorate his house in the 70&#8217;s and kept doing it until his death in 2009.</p><p>He was roaming the region for some 40 years on his modified bicycles, collecting trash to make poetry from.<span
style="font-weight: 400;"> He was excited by what blind chance brought before him, and by the idea that he could find something he’d never even considered before and then magically make something valuable out of it.</span></p><p><span
style="font-weight: 400;">He would compose his ready-made and assemblage works from junk. Colourful pinwheels and mutilated dolls hacked onto thrown out bicycle wheels, resembling some sort of strange Eastern European dreamcatcher from a long forgotten tradition. Plastic flasks cut in half and filled with flamboyantly-coloured plastic flowers, placed carefully on this ever-growing body of art. He constantly re-invented the random objects he found, placing them in relation to each other, giving value to the worthless. Using smashed pottery, thrown-out glass and porcelain waste, he created untold fairy-tales, born as mosaics on the walls of his house.</span></p><p>Raw, independent creativity, which in itself is wonderful and very uplifting.

On display was a newly made installation of ladder-objects. Linears forms, reaching upward toward the window of the basement space of Kavics, never reaching it. Also a 1990 video work was exhibited, which Róza filmed back in Syria and edited with the motif of circle and circular movement in mind. It&#8217;s the recurring motif of the video, wich in the context of the exhibition makes a counterpoint to the linearity of the installation, but also a common ground in terms of not achieving an intended goal. Linear ladders rising up, not reaching the intended destination, circular moves returning to the same spot always.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>Gergő Nagy: There is a Bird in the Echochamber, 2018.10. &#8211; 2018.11.</title><link>https://gergofulop.com/portfolio/gergo-nagy-there-is-a-bird-in-the-echochamber-2018-10-2018-11/</link> <pubDate>Sun, 16 Feb 2020 17:45:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[gergő]]></dc:creator> <guid
