PASSAGE | FAR-AWAY THINGS ARE SEEN MOST CLEARLY
Tivadar Nemesi and Tibor Szemző’s Complentative Exhibition
commemorating the 100th anniversary of Franz Kafka’s death
The starting point for Szemző’s work were excerpts from the conversations between the young Prague student Gustav Janouh and Kafka.
The films of the re-contextualized conversation-fragments appear as stand-alone objects on tiny projectors.
The metaphorical thoughts is further reinforced by Tivadar Nemesi’s leaf engravings which evoke human beings.
They associate to the film-scenes, like characters from an invisible story, a space woven around Kafkaesque thoughts.

EARTH TIME – 2017
installation with computer driven analogue loop-projectors, human voices of various languages accompanied by music
Earth Time is an installation for computer driven analogue loop-projectors, human voices of various languages accompanied by music. The project has a specific sensorial impact that is difficult if not impossible to describe in words. Within this artwork, the author is creating a process based on music, spoken words and visual images. By using older mediums (such as 8 mm film and projectors) he is transporting the present into the past. This creates a magical atmosphere, which you can only experience by walking into the installation. The artwork contains a variety of layers such as the visuals, sounds, music, films and spoken words in different languages. Earth Time was inspired by a text of the Serbo-Croatian poet Danilo Kis.
Text based on Peščanik [Hourglass] Chapter #9 by Danilo Kiš
