Hollow

Art collective Hollow embodies the shared hallucinations of Viktor Szeri (dance, choreography), Tamás Páll (media arts, game design) and Gyula Muskovics (text, curation). Hollow develops immersive environments and cross reality experiences in theatre and exhibition contexts by combining dance, sound, gaming, digital technologies, poetry and live action roleplaying. Their artistic works constitute “world prototypes” that challenge prevailing regimes and that which is consensually accepted as reality. Their topics range from queer cruising, hyperspace and millennial cults to the radicalisation of gaming subcultures and ecological anxiety as well as to nature as a black box and walking as a psychoactive substance.


Baby starts out as a reflection on this arts collective founded by Viktor Szeri, Tamás Páll and Gyula Muskovics in Budapest in 2018. At the piece’s centre is their virtual child, which invites the audience to a journey to Phoenix, into an imaginary darkroom, where Hollow was born. In other words: Baby takes us back to the very first moment, when everything was still shapeless, with the potential to become anything still within. It is the newest in a series of the collective’s projects that perceive the creation of art as the creation of worlds. The performance does not only reveal Hollow’s complex universe but also suggests how an artistic work might enter into an exchange with its creators.
