Géza is a young artist who graduated in Visual Communication from the University of Applied Arts in 2005. His creations, are as eccentric as they are scheming.

“My taxidermy project is a trial of what happens when the form is changed, so that the skin is placed over a different kind of shape…An animal’s skin is excised from its body, and a plastic body is formed in the same shape and covered with its skin.

This project mixes a hyper-realistic approach with the mythological, and the objects – which used to be live animals – find themselves in absurd situations, causing them pain while being human toys.

Objects and sculptures are there with you in three dimensions while you look at them. However strange or contradictory they might be, they exist and you have to accept their existence.

Two of my most important inspirations are Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang and the cult film of Alejandro Jodorowsky, The Holy Mountain (1973).

My work has always been too much. My life has always been imprinted with finding myself between extremes. If I started serving the needs of mainstream, that wouldn’t be me.

I also don’t want everyone to like what I’m doing. I’m ok with people reacting differently. I remember the table soccer I made for Taxidermia, where I used hamsters and squirrels instead of plastic figures. When the movie came out it was exhibited in a movie theater in a shopping mall. Parents were horrified so it had to be put away. There was also an exhibition abroad that featured my work, where a middle-aged woman turned up from nowhere and started shouting angrily. My friends translated what she said. I guess she was not a fan of my work either.”

Opium, a film featured at the 38th Hungarian Film Festival, is his second motion picture—following Taxidermia—where he worked under a unique title: special art designer.
