Last Letter
Mixed media on aluminium
1200 x 1200 mm
This was the last letter my father tried to write to me and my family in Hungarian (2017)
“Dear Peter and my loved ones, who now are reading sadly my last letter. It is very difficult, since we are in this situation in which the fate has brought us and were we are passing down the final line which is waiting for us all. Peter, and this is how we are now separating and saying good by to each other…….no worries…” (from here he couldn’t put his words together anymore…)
I made this work just after my father died. Only recently I went through where he were. He lost his languages and I lost mine for a while too, having my stroke, feeling in this speechless desperate situation, not being able to communicate with my loved ones.

RE-FLECTIONS, DISTANT MEMORIES PRESENT
“Last year in August 2021, I couldn’t exhibit my work RE-FLECTIONS, due to the Covid lockdown. I made a statement then: “ We live in a strange world that has turned our way of life upside down”. Since then even more sadly, absurd and surreal events have perpetuated worldwide. I complemented a few more works to actualize the status quo of my show. The essence and the topic of my exhibition however are the same. I am talking about the distant memories, not just those, which are piled up onto the crust of our personal psyche, but are also reminiscent in the sediment of our human history. We are elements of the chain that is forming us. In this exhibition I combine works, that can be sawn into a multifaceted narrative, always under the guidance of:
“I know that I don’t know”
