“The city really no longer contains distinct private and public spaces”
Vilém Flusser / The City as Wave-Trough in the Image-Flood .
I’ve been exploring the borderlines between the public and the private space. I used an ordained altar picture of Virgin Mary which is my family’s property. When I was a child, it was hanged in our room but later we moved it up to the attic and we moved from that house. Now I went back there and brought down the painting and tried to find out where does it really belong and how does it behave in certain situations.

Lives and Works in
Freiburg and Budapest
Olga Kocsi (1987) is a multimedia artist based in Budapest and Freiburg, creating multi-sensory experiences that explore topics at the intersection of various scientific fields. Her work investigates the relationship between reality and virtual reality, as well as its potential evolution in the future, while pushing and mapping the boundaries between private and public spheres.
Kocsi is known for her complex installations that envelop the viewer, employing a wide range of media including photography, video, animation, and VR. A key aspect of her practice is providing guided experiences that encourage audiences to engage with socially complex messages through self-reflection.
Her main areas of focus include human stories, the mapping of time and reality, and simulation. As an experimental thinker, Kocsi boldly plays with spaces, surfaces, and materials, crafting unconventional situations that actively involve the viewer.

House on the Border
House on the Border is a complex project include a video installation and a book.
The video included the book and the book included the video. The timeline is möbius.
I made my own Taschen book and took it back to the shops. Documentation is more important than the reality.

Holy Olga
The basically tautological character of Holy Olga flows from the simple fact that its means are simultaneously its ends. It is the sun which never sets over the empire of modern passivity. It covers the entire surface of the world and bathes endlessly in its own glory.
Holy Olga is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.
Holy Olga is never what hides the truth - it is truth that hides the fact that there is none.
Holy Olga is true.
