Spiritual Civil Disobedience

At their latest exhibition, the artist duo Igor and Ivan Buharov (Kornél Szilágyi and Nándor Hevesi) present their multimedia installation originally conceived in 2018 for the Steirischer Herbst in Graz, now adapted to the space of acb Attachment.

Furnished with cinematic and installation elements, the environment can be considered a preliminary study for the duo’s new feature film currently in the making, evocative of the dreamlike, Surrealist-Dadaist narrative, imagery and aesthetic of the Buharov films.

A sort of psychedelic natural atmosphere comprises the thematic unity of films projected onto walls and inside cabinetry, lightboxes and ritual installations. In the fragmented, obscure narratives of the presented short films, turning towards nature and union with the plant world is achieved through the escape routes of psychoactive substances, sorcery or magic.
