ABOUT THE EXHIBITED OBJECT
Balatonbottom bikini top (2025)
The work consists of two members. A “positive” 3-dimensional spatial object, a bikini top thrown away on the grass, on the beach and a bikini top floating underwater in the glass block. The ensemble of objects represents the beginning and end of summer. Freedom, water, adventures and projections of floating memories. The title is ambiguous: it refers to the peculiarities of the naming of the railleway station in Balaton and refers to the mood of the people on vacation. Above and below is the appearance of natural harmony.
