  Be Impossible Demand The Real | 2016

he slogan on our demonstration sign continues a dialogue with one of the most emblematic phrases of the Paris revolt of 1968. By inverting the call, we enter into the school of thought that explores our work by way of the relationship between the Cold War and the present. The installation is a fictive monument to the unrealised demonstration of a Hungarian military factory. Our construction is comprised of the assembly of two objects: a demonstration sign, and the newly sewn version of a purported jacket of a former Hungarian sentry. We did none other than continuing the working method that we used throughout our project engaged in a munitions factory; in other words, we replayed the story, this time with objects. We filled the gaps that developed in the story with fictional elements: those parts which we do not know, or we are not allowed to say. As if the location and characters around the secret – kicking up the order of Eastern European State Socialism – would have given voice to their critics. We imagined an event that even with the perspective of our generation, would become an interpretable point of reference.
