I am a curator, writer, artist, and researcher based between Budapest and New York. My practice is driven by a pull toward the edge, exploring subversion, queer desire, intimacy, and the political potential of the body. My projects often delve into concealed and obscure territories and foreground utopian thinking as a form of resistance to normative systems. Friendship is one of the main driving forces within my practice, shaping both my research and my collaborative approach to exhibition and art-making.
I co-founded the Hollow immersive performance art collective with choreographer Viktor Szeri and game designer Tamás Páll in 2018. Our work brings together methodologies from contemporary dance, poetics, media art, augmented reality, cutting-edge technology, and role-play to question dominant systems of consensual reality. We have performed and exhibited in theaters, galleries, and festivals, and have been featured in publications and digital art projects across Europe and South America.
Since 2020, I have co-curated the visual art section of Under500 Festival, a multidisciplinary arts platform held annually at Artus Studio in Budapest and dedicated to radical and experimental currents in independent contemporary art in Hungary.
As a researcher, I have focused particularly on the avant-garde fashion scenes of the former Eastern Bloc around the collapse of communism. My work with the estate of Hungarian cult designer Tamás Király began in 2014, leading to exhibition projects and the publication of Tamás Király '80s (tranzit.hu, 2017), which I co-edited with Andi Soós. I later expanded this research to alternative fashion circles in former communist cities, including Tbilisi, Moscow, and Riga.
From 2023 to 2024, I was a Fulbright Fellow at The Museum of Modern Art and New York University. In 2024, I was also a Rosztoczy Fellow at Howl! Arts in New York City. During this time, I researched the history of the East Village’s queer experimental performance scene, with a focus on costumed performance and deconstructivist drag.
Upon returning to Budapest in 2025, I earned a PhD in Art Theory from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. My dissertation, titled Fashion as World-Building in the Years of Transition, brought together the different scenes I discovered through my research since 2014. That same year, I co-edited DIK Fagazine #15: Budapest Issue with Polish artist Karol Radziszewski, the first art publication about Hungary’s queer histories from the nineteenth century to the present.
I have been a guest lecturer at universities and held workshops in different countries. I have given talks at the School of Visual Arts (New York), Moderna Museet (Stockholm), the University of Chicago, and nGbK (Berlin), among other institutions. I have created and curated events internationally, including at tranzit.hu (Budapest), Trafó House of Contemporary Arts (Budapest), House of Arts (Brno), MeetFactory (Prague), radialsystem (Berlin), Donaufestival (Krems), Bergen Kunsthall (Bergen), SoMad (New York City), National Center for Dance (Bucharest), and Tanzhaus nrw (Düsseldorf). My writings on art have appeared in the European Journal of Women’s Studies, CTM Magazine, Momus Journal, ArtMargins, The Kitchen, The Sculpture Center, post-MoMA, and publications by the Ludwig Museum, as well as by the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art as part of the 61st Venice Biennale.
