‘Invisible loyalties’ is a concept developed by Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, a psychiatrist and an innovator of family systems therapy. It describes unconscious attachments, obligations or behavioural patterns that exist between members of a family, especially children and their parents. Each of the works presented in the series can be perceived as a representation of a system of relationships within a single family.

Invisible Loyalties

‘Desolation’ explores the disintegration of a society, when all faith is lost, beliefs crumble, the purpose of living fades away, and people become more and more alienated and indifferent. 

Desolation

‘Territory’ is a personal space inaccessible to other people. Sometimes it is a protected area, a peaceful sanctuary where the true self lives and a hiding place from society. Sometimes - a space dominated by the desire to possess, with a constantly expanding artificial border. When you draw a circle and stand in the middle, how does that affect what you do and how do others react to you?

Territory

‘Tyranny of god, society, and self’ is a study of external and internal constraints that limit our ability to choose what we want. On the one hand, these constraints protect us from stepping into the void. On the other hand, they are a barrier, a restriction that limits our freedom and stops us from exploring and experiencing the world.
