![]() ZsM:īesides these video works, you have also exhibited large-scale portrait drawings that are part of a longer term project you’ve been working on, called rave2000. The photos also show the Mudboy in a rave, they are retakes of party photos. Or in the video Cosas della vita (which is the remake of the duett of Eros Ramazzotti and Tina Turner), the Mudboy is manifesting a deep, ecstatic state of desire and pain through dance. For me it’s the moment when desire takes over-it’s a sort of ecstasy, hence the connection to the theme-and it’s a state when you look and feel exactly like the Mudboy. In the music video ‘Sin With Me’ (which is a remake of the Hungarian pop song from mid-90s with the same title), a guy is crying and bursting out steeped in desire to have sex with another person. For that I found the Mudboy to be the perfect character. That makes the Mudboy become free.Īnd when I was preparing this exhibition, I knew I wanted to manifest my theme rave2000 not only in drawings but also in music videos and photos. It’s either good or bad: it’s just outside of most frames of our civilized everyday. The Mudboy is unable to use almost any objects of our civilized life without destroying it. Whatever the Mudboy touches, becomes dirty. In my view, the Mudboy is the complete opposite of civilization. ![]() It comes to life through a simple magic: we cover ourselves completely with mud / dirt. The Mudboy is a creature which has many appearances and features, based on who is the person who embodies it. The Mudboy was called to life more than 2 years ago by the artist group ‘We Didn’t Do It! Crew’ (Bátory Péter, Brückner János, Falvai Mátyás, Fillér Máté, Szabó Ottó, Tóth Márton Emil), and we keep it alive ever since with Márton Emil Tóth. ![]() This setup gave me the idea to approach my theme in two ways: large, monumental drawings of ravers from the early 2000s Hungarian party scenes and in the basement you can see the Mudboy in ecstase on three music videos and on three lightboxes. The gallery has two exhibition spaces: one on the street level and one in the basement. Who is this muddy creature and what does it have to do with the enigmatic title? JÁNOS BRÜCKNER: In your new solo show at Scope BLN titled Emergency there are three new video installations in which you embody a mud-covered subhuman in different dancing, partying and singing settings.
