i fly to budapest, where i take a couple of buses to the slovakian border. i see some around the station. M picks me up and brings me to dunajská streda, where i will work during a week as resident. we are a dozen artists, all invited by yuri dolan, artist director of the symposium. we have rooms in a collective inner garden residential resort, with a big underground living room, where eva, the cook, takes care of the meals. some kilometers away, in the periphery, between fields and industrial terrain, we have ateliers and studios to work. each artist finds his own place, so there are different scenarios to record. i spend some time watching the artist work. i build context. i talk and comment on the art. that is part of my art, to look and generate memory and conversation. i make no documentary films. everyday, we go back and forth a couple of times, and have lunch and dinner together, mostly traditional hungarian dishes. in the region, both slovak and hungarian languaje is spoken, due to the cultural influence and proximity to the hungarian border. i walk around dunajská streda when the sun is not so high, always better in the afternoon. i collect small monochrome particles to make the next minimal unstable intallation. i touch surfaces and plants. every town has its own atmosphere. i read the texts by architect peter zumthor about this issue. i also take some small stones. i usually never do, only post-produced particles, but im still strongly under the influence of stones, after the summer rituals. so i walk, record and have coffee and write in cafés in the center of town. all blocks are numbered. i carry the things i collect in the blue bags, as usual. i picture M and Y with the bags, in the factory area. to fix the current position, and extend the translatorial.
