Hadititok (Military Secret) by Miklós Erdély from 1984 has long shaped my artistic thinking. Its raw energy and haunting material presence still resonate, a space that pulls the viewer in while pointing not to technology itself, but to the destruction behind it. The work can be seen at the Ludwig Museum in Budapest.
My work Hagere Geometrie (Hommage an Kriegsgeheimnis) – which is based on a paper collage motif I created in 2015 – responds to this by reimagining the military-industrial complex as a ghostly, technological force. Its color today is no longer green, but grey, an eerie, elusive tone. Made with pigment transfer on repurposed Hungarian military canvas, the process creates glitches and distortions, emphasizing the boundary between digital and analog. The geometric forms reference stealth aircraft and drones, surfaces designed for invisibility. Here, geometry becomes the aesthetic of disappearance, where power operates unseen and war unfolds within perception. |

| ’’A well-chosen motto becomes an act.’’ says Miklós Erdély in an interview. The exhibition Fragile Balance (Danger) has a dual purpose: on the one hand in this sense in a manner similar to a motto or a slogan it aims to call attention to and place in a contemporary context the most monumental of Miklós Erdély’s glass-panel installations; the Fragile Balance (Danger), which was originally presented in Kraków in 1981, while on the other hand, it attempts to reactivate Erdély’s legacy through contemporary artworks that reflect on his intellectual and artistic heritage. Every element of the exhibition is thus an experiment with uncertain outcomes, exploring whether it is possible to dislocate the art of this remarkable artist of the Hungarian and Central-Eastern European neo-avant-garde from its invisibility, and how his ouvre can continue to live on through the artworks of contemporary artists. – Borbála Szalai |
