What is it that holds together the flight of birds and raises a person’s gaze to the sky? What makes certain things stay together and others fall apart? What is the inner force that can hold our world together?
The community of artists is a petite fruit. And the Erdőszőlő Artist Colony is even smaller, a tiny, hanging berry, part of a big whole plant, where various artists’ diverse ideas, goals, strategies, fantasies meet and form a unity. How can a community cooperate and survive? What bridges cultural, linguistic and generational differences between the members of an artist cohort and enables them to gather year after year?
Thick, cool walls, brick, tall grasses, a thousand-year-old robinia pseudoacacia tree, a cracked roof tile, open windy terrace, a walnut tree that is almost dry, a disintegrating lock on the rusty gate, vinegar tree bending as a thin wave, sea of silkweed, a striped T-shirt and the smell of turpentine, Otus scops, a swing, black and red currant pie with nuts, two pictures, cicadas, an apricot jam, noisy hedgehogs, a calm deer, a mole in the tent, cool, damp starry nights, a warm hug and another year passes.
