1514 - 2014

Dürer's most enigmatic print the Melancholy is just 500 years old. I made this paraphrase to celebrate the jubilee. The date of 1514 appears in the bottom row of Durer’s magic square. In my square 2014 appears in the same place.

JULES VERNE AWARD

He drew a landscape from the North Pole, in which he composed the head of Jules Verne. We do not see this when regarding the picture: Verne vanishes between the icebergs. If, however, a mirrored metal cylinder is placed at the centre of the landscape, then a lifelike portrait of Jules Verne appears in the cylinder. I believe that this form of anamorphic depiction was customary in the Renaissance… I can no longer establish an István Orosz award, but since he likes my Verne film very much, if I could restore the master and replace the title credits, then I would write before the title that it is for István Orosz with sincere respect. In other words, I dedicate this film to him. (SándorReisenbüchler)
