The hovering shifts between realities evoke the sort of nostalgia that Rita Koszorús is after. This reminiscence is static. Not only that, but it is a voyage between dimensions that summons the supporting nuances of time and space. The ropes of the interdimensional align in a particularly fleeting manner, lingering on the threshold.

This in-betweenness is born out of the contradicting and simultaneous existence of something at the intersection of a ‘safe bubble’ and the apocalyptic, resonating with its tension of emergence and disappearance. The parallel realities are not only presented through different media – painting and installation- but also through the levitation, movement and rearranging force of utopian and imaginary landscapes. These places have both familiar and unfamiliar atmospheres, making uncanny their shared language and now letting ‘spatialization’ into the dialogue.

Transient and momentary, as the exhibition title suggests: these states are never fixed, no linear narrative is involved. They unfold through the act of perception itself, as the recurring and familiar elements of the paintings and the installation articulate themselves, then teach us to attune to them. This structure resists resolution. Instead, it invites a slow navigation through fragmented memories, visual echoes, and imagined futures. The layering of images, surfaces, and gestures becomes the cartography of the intangible. Memory here is not a source but a medium, the fluid material that drifts image to meaning without ever fully settling. The boundaries between media dissolve just as the boundaries between inner and outer worlds do, revealing delicate parallel realities.

Rita Koszorús’ works, with their interwoven abstraction and subtle textures, become arenas where memory and imagination coalesce. In this interplay of form and void, presence and past, realm and fantasy, she offers a contemplative space where the echoes of the past resonate within the mutable dynamics of the now.
