"This video was done in 2009 in Budapest as a colaboration with the slovenian photographer Anže Grabeljšek. The Hungarian girl that appers in the video was 9 years at the time. I recorded different sounds of soda water and did some variations on them, then sampled Bela Bartóks voice into it."

A természet szépsége: a Balatonon a víz megfagyott alkotása látszik.
Gyöngyfűzéren át: kora reggel a karámban lévő lovak más szemszögből.
Rohanó idők: pillanatfelvétel a rohanó emberekről.
A fotós: gyors folyású vízben, állvánnyal.
Vadvízi evezősök balesete.
Hungarian Beauty
"Our Hungarian identity is not in its healthiest and happiest period. Still, we keep on being sexy, straightforward and ironic. Folclor mingles into the urban mood, and it is up to us to define which is dominant. Is the sexy Hungarian girl attracting you or you cannot take your eyes off our nudist fairy tale princess? Is it a trabant or some high class design car in the background?"
"A képek témájául a hagyományőrzés egyik legjelesebb példáját választottam, mert ebben még megcsillan az a nagybetűs magyarság, ami bennünket annyira jellemez, a régi ruhák alól felsejlik a betyárhagyomány, táncos ruhájuk a néhai nagymamák nyomdokain lépeget, mozdulataikból felsejlik a magyar virtus. Véleményem szerint ezekből a dolgokból minden képen megmutatkozik valami, így hát mindegyik magáért beszél."
1. Csocsó: Widely spread, table football spices up evenings in Hungarian pubs.
2. Old woman: A conversation between a resident of Budapest and the city. Life in the city might have given her marks of aging, but her stare shows that the marks she left in the city are definitely deeper.
3. Pantomime. This form of pantomime is well-known in other European capitals, now it's time for the Hungarian capital to enjoy this entertaining form of beggary: the first one among them, the man wearing clay clothes.
4. Hungarian love – Why? Saturday night, Keleti tram station. A girl and boy is on the verge of losing their heads,trying to persuade each other about what love means to each of them.
5. Hungarian Humor. A passer by decided to dance and pose in front of my camera lens.
6. Hungarian beggar woman: One of the specific traits of hot touristic places in Hungary, that beggars, also entertain you and usually befriend people who approach them. This kind lady in Vörösmarty Square was more than happy that I wanted to catch a glimpse of her performance.
