A Fény Alatt (Under the Light) 2026

 

A Fény Alatt (Under the Light) is a stop-motion animation expressing the diaspora I've felt since moving to Australia from Hungary. My mum has always been my sun; Her light followed me here, and the life I've built in Perth is who I am now, and just as much my home.

 

I used a deer, a figure that often appears in Hungarian folk tales, to stand in for myself. The physical side of my practice has always mattered to me. I used a paper puppet animation so I could feel every movement and control the deer by hand. I drew or Lino printed every part of the landscape background, so I stayed as connected to the work as possible. Home is something I can't touch from here, so making everything by hand became a way of holding onto it.

 

The longing for the place I naturally call home will never go away.
