INVISIBLE VIDEO PERFORMANCE IS ON VIEW AT VISIONS IN THE NUNNERY EXHIBITION BY BOWARTS, LONDON
"This is not theatre. It is not film. It is a performance that draws from what performance theorist Peggy Phelan called the “presentness” of performance – its being “in a real time of bodies in space” (Phelan, 1993). Pátkai places herself not on a stage but in public view, amid the flow of everyday life. The camera, static and discrete, records but does not announce. The audience, unsuspecting, participates unwittingly. This covert element – a hallmark of much site-specific and feminist performance – recalls the uneasy slippage between life and art that early performance sought to establish." https://saltertonartsreview.com/2025/06/invisible-lathatatlan-rozina-patkai/
On the birthday of Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca, Hungarian artist Rozina Pátkai releases a long-awaited new video. The song, inspired by Lorca’s "Wounds of Love" from his Sonnets of Dark Love, fuses poetic passion with musical finesse, featuring Miklós Lukács on cimbalom and Márton Fenyvesi on guitar. Filmed over five years ago at the beginning of the Minka project, the footage has been brought to life by editor Mila Taraczky and cinematographer Imre Juhász, acclaimed for his work on major Hollywood productions.
