💚A nearly 600-page book about the 20+ years of the @tranzitorg network in Central Eastern Europe was launched yesterday at @tranzit.hu in Budapest.

It features a visual diary of our journey with @viktor_szeri and @tomipall aka @hollow.systems to an imaginary underground culb in Tbilisi called Aura.

Not only was this journey beautiful but the nearly 5 years I worked as a curator at tranzit in Budapest was also a very defining period in my life. It was my first workplace, where I started numerous long term projects including my research on Tamás Király. Every time I return, I return there with a warm heart.

This book was edited by @boriborbalasoos and @floragado ~ Thank you for their beautiful work 👏🏻

If you're around, join the next book launch at the opening weekend of @labiennale on May 9th at Paradiso Restaurant, Castello 1260, Giardini della Biennale with participants including @paul_bpreciado and @dorisuhlich at 12:30 pm.

There are several qr codes in our map (which is part of the "Rehearsing Future" chapter) which bring you even further into the universe of @hollow.systems 🔮

@dikfagazine is back with BUDAPEST issue dedicated to queer history of Hungary!

In response to Hungarian government’s ongoing attempts to make queers invisible, together with @jule.core we created the issue filled with diks and sweaty bodies of all kinds, alongside solid archival research on girls, bois, and trans folks fucking around and subverting the system from the 19th century to today.

📍WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION VERY SOON 😎

Designed by the amazing @neuemartin DIK BUDAPEST on 144 pages and in 10 chapters - will gide you through the city’s parks and bath houses in times when queers were blackmailed by the secret police, gay and lesbian samizdats, 1980s performance art and avantgarde fashion, as well as the beginning of LGBTQ+ activism after the fall of communism.

Over the past year, together with @karolradziszewski we’ve delved into Hungarian queer history. On Thursday at 6 pm, the exhibition Sinners finally opens at @acbgallery in Budapest. This is one of those projects I’ve been preparing for about ten years. But the work is far from over—as part of the show, @dikfagazine BUDAPEST ISSUE will also be released at the end of November.

This beautiful book > IMAGES OF QUEER DESIRE < edited by @ladislavjackson has just arrived with my text in it titled "A PERSON WHO FUNCTIONS NORMALLY IN A SICK SOCIETY IS HIMSELF SICK." It is an essay about homonormativity, gay monstrosity and what makes an authentic queer person. With lots of radical stuff from @brucelabruce 's coming-of-age zombie porn fantasies to Charles Henri Ford's surrealist and very gay take on the myth of the Minotaur of Crete. This text also served as the basis for the lecture performance "THE LAST HOUR" that I created and performed with @csaba_molnar_nicole_clore and @711f at @somad.nyc last fall. The only problem is that – even to my surprise – it's only in Czech. But an English version will soon follow and you can find the English manuscript under the link in my bio ^^

Last Saturday, I did this very simple durational piece. I put on my DIY “minotaur” mask, fastened a choker around my neck, and chained myself to a column for about 20 minutes. I began to lean outward, gradually choking myself and slipping into a haze—eventually nearing faintness, which genuinely surprised me.

Suddenly, I snapped out of the dissociative state. But then, I allowed myself to sink back into it. And that’s how it went for the remaining 15 minutes—I was drifting in and out of this strange space where I could feel pain.

At some point, I had a monologue (prerecorded) about how doninance and submission are actually about trust and equality. I took off the mask, kept struggling for a bit and released myself in the end.

There was, of course, an idea behind it, but I wanted to find a more personal meaning.

Initially, I wanted to explore how you can relive the high of those very first moments. What I love about beginnings is that you’re completely formless and free. It’s beautiful, because you—and anyone involved—can become anything.

But sometimes it becomes a struggle, because this formlessness is no longer within reach, and you find yourself chasing shadows—like a gambler haunted by a single win, doomed to lose ever since. And you want it again and again, and what you get is only pain.

And there's a scenario where that magical spark is still there but it's hard to find it, to clear the fog and begin cherishing it again.

... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Whatever the situation may be—what I learned afterwards is that you can always take a break. And if you’re too exhausted, sweating, worn thin, and your body is shaking too heavily—you can unchain yourself, say thank you, and walk away.

And maybe come back later and try it again.

I wrote a piece on Károly Hopp-Halász' Open Geometry series from a queer point of view last summer for a catalogue published by @acbgallery

"...Hopp-Halász' oeuvre is a process of coming out – the dilemmas and questions of which are perfectly captured in Open Geometry. And as far as Hungarian society and the Hungarian political world today are concerned – a society which presents challenges to queer individuals searching for their own paths –, the tensions in the images, the gradual emergence of bodies, and the various questions concerning identity that are brought to the surface step-by-step may help further an understanding of the roots of the reality we live in – as they also helped me."
