Video installation (2009), dual-channel DV PAL video, two monitors

In this work, I approach the Hungarian Parliament Building from two opposing directions: one monitor pans across the structure from the left, the other from the right. For a long time, the two images move alongside one another as if unable to arrive at a shared perspective of the same reality, until the final held shot briefly reveals the building as a whole. For me, this moment carries less hope than a sense of loss — the recognition that the image of a shared country is repeatedly fractured by short-sighted interests, political vanity, selfishness, and lies reiterated without consequence. The work also contains my own impatience and sense of exhaustion: the feeling of no longer arguing with ideologies, but with a form of political immaturity that gradually erodes the possibility of a common reality.
