Theatre, space and exhibition

Although my design work is most often realized on the two-dimensional picture plane, I always had a special interest in architecture (probably a family trait), or more generally, for the design of space and for understanding the structure of things - How is this constructed, how does it work, how can it be better, and how can I make it myself? And then I renovated a house as well, where I could really go deep into all that, both mentally and manually.

I am not an architect of course. Neither am I a scenographer, but I had the chance of working close to theatre quite often since high school. A secret passion, so to say, at the intersection of many of my interests. In some projects I worked as a set designer (mostly doing the implementation as well), in others I designed the poster, and recently I had the chance to be a dramaturg of a play, and work on the text as well.

Apart from theatre, I also worked on installation designs and on creating exhibition spaces.

While working as the dramaturg of the play I also designed its posters (Susan Sontag's "Alice in bed", at the Hungarian Theatre of Cluj-Napoca, directed by Dorka Porogi).

Pictures of a Catalan family | 2013

A theatre and gesamtkunst project with the Tandem Group in Miercurea Ciuc that was based on a box of photographs that I found next to the trash in Barcelona. I researched the context of the photos for over a year, then on the location I created an exhibition space (and some interpretative artwork), where I also encouraged visitors to add their own photos and stories, also documenting the photo project online.
