Well-known as experimental filmmakers, but also working in the fields of visual arts and music, the artist duo Igor and Ivan Buharov are now presenting a solo exhibition opening on 22 June at the Kassák Museum. Their new work revolves around the figure of Emil Szittya, a versatile avant-garde artist (writer, poet, painter, publisher) and anarchist vagabond who had a strong influence on the young Lajos Kassák at the turn of the century. In collaboration with curator Katalin Erdődi, the Buharov brothers won the newly established Kassák Contemporary Art Prize in 2022, with their proposal for a multi-channel film installation using Super 8 analogue technology. The artists draw inspiration from the life and work of Emil Szittya, especially his collage-like fragmentary writings, paintings, and the dreams he collected from acquaintances and strangers in occupied France during the Second World War, which they revisit and transform with their signature anarcho-surrealist visuality.
