Dóra Benyó (1989) lives and works between The Hague and Brussels. Through painting, video and performance, Dóra draws on her own family history to address censorship and authority in Hungary during the Soviet era. She predominantly works with state archives related to her grandfather, held by the former secret service. From a personal quest for belonging, Hungarian born but grown up in the Netherlands, she searches for traces of dictatorship left in her family, and poses questions about how we relate to our histories and their (un)knowability.
Dóra will present her practice and plans during her residency at ABA LAB, 24 January, 5 pm at the ABA office Friedrichstraße 23a, 10969 Berlin. The event is open to public!

Vorspiel 2024
A Notion of the Ever-Lasting
Part of Vorspiel, Bárbara Acevedo Strange and Vanessa Bosch will present a video installation A Notion of the Ever-Lasting at ABA.
This video installation reveals a conversation between various deserts, each representing unique geographical and philosophical perspectives. The stories they share with each other, unravel the vorticity of their ghosts and the impermanence of what was once considered eternal. Throughout these narratives, viewers can trace the incidental appearances of human activities across different temporalities.
