I studied history of art at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Currently I am a PhD student at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. I have worked as a museologist, specialist in heritage conservation and curator of several art exhibitions. In 2022 I completed the Story Lab filmmaking training in Dunaszerdahely, and since then I have been attending film development workshops.
Who am I? Mother, wife, friend, art historian, budding filmmaker.
Who do I want to be? Best mother, dream wife, friend to all, successful art historian and award winning film director. And someone who doesn't care what others think…
The idea for the animated documentary was born two years ago when I first heard about the artist István Dúdor (1949-1987), who is one of the strangest figures in Slovak art.
Already a legend in his own lifetime, The Artist (according to his contemporaries), has many anecdotes attached to his name. The film explores the places (pubs, mental institution, etc. – indirectly tools of self-destruction) that led him to the bus stop in Tornalja, where he was beaten to death. On 22 June 1987, he missed the last bus from Tornalja to Bratislava, and decided to spend the night at the bus stop and take the early morning one. At the age of 37, at around 1 a.m. on 23 June 1987, death "beat him to death" in the form of a metal pipe belonging to a street bin and its 17 years old user. Soviet soldiers found the body. The position and the condition of the body evoked the painting "Ikarosz", painted six years earlier, according to his friend, the writer Magda Kovács, who saw the artist's body and was surprised that Dúdor had painted his own death. The tragedy culminated in the fact that the murderer was sentenced to only three months in prison. The circumstances of his death are still unclear.
