Kornél Szilágyi

Kornél Szilágyi (1971) and Nándor Hevesi (1974) have been working together under the pseudonym of Igor and Ivan Buharov since 1994. After their Visual Communication and Intermedia studies, they both have attended the Doctor of Liberal Arts programme at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in Budapest. Their careers in experimental film began in line with the intermedial tendencies that emerged in the restructured cultural institutional system following the political change in the early 1990s. The Buharovs have since developed a unique artistic practice and have become defining figures of the Hungarian contemporary visual art, music, and film scenes. They have received numerous film awards and have attended several international residency programmes. The duo exhibited, among others, at the Manifesta 8 (2010), the Kyiv Biennal (2015), the documenta 14 (2017), and the Biennale Warszawa (2019).
