[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ el_class=”full-2″][vc_column_text]The exhibition is in fact a single piece comprised of sound and moving image, both reflecting on and shifting away from the spaces of the Budapest Gallery. Living in the Netherlands for three years now, the artist conceived this work to speak abstractly about the question of seeking and finding one\u2019s place. What points of orientation help us to find our way in our own lives? And what happens when these points become unstable? In general: can we feel at home in the world or is losing ground inevitable?<\/p>\n

Bal\u00e1zs Varju T\u00f3th began experimenting with writing literary texts in recent years. Partly autofiction, partly experimental, his text \u2013 which appears in the form of a sound installation \u2013 thematises the correlations of searching for a home, moving on\/away, being confined, needing a change and being a stranger. The flashing footages can be interpreted as metaphors of different places and spaces that help us orientate ourselves and fix our attention, such as the beacon of a lighthouse or the emptiness of a room. It is important to note, however, that these short scenes are not illustrations of the soundtrack that runs through the exhibition space: it is the relationship between the text and the images that the artist is interested in, inasmuch as it gives rise to uncertainty and tension. The physics term in the title refers to the principle according to which light travels between two points along the path that requires the least time: the exhibition is an attempt to create an immersive video installation that aims not for totality, but instead, for fragmentariness, while pointing out the difficulties, breaking points and confusions inherent in relating a narrative.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#c6c6c6″ up=”10″ down=”20″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Bal\u00e1zs Varju T\u00f3th (1990) lives and works in Amsterdam and Budapest. He studied at ELTE (Film Theory, Film History), MOME (Media Design) and the Sandberg Instituut (Fine Arts) in Amsterdam. He received the Derkovits Grant in 2019 and has been the member of the Studio of Young Artists Association (FKSE) since 2017.<\/p>\n

He typically creates video installations. In his work, both spoken and written text are important \u2013 both as part of and alongside moving images \u2013 as well as repetition and prolonged temporality. In recent years, his focus has increasingly turned towards ontological questions. His works are based on a world in which the individual has little control over the events of the surrounding world, and in which vulnerability is a basic experience.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#c6c6c6″ up=”10″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”19992″ img_size=”256×125″ onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=”” link=”http:\/\/www.nka.hu”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”19155″ img_size=”266×80″ qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_single_image image=”20896″ qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”20898″ qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”20900″ qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”20903″ qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”20905″ qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”20907″ qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”20909″ qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
