András Cséfalvay: A Marriage of Flame and Flame

Digital Arts Invitations

We cordially invite you to a solo exhibition by András Cséfalvay at the Ján Koniarek Gallery in Trnava. Drawing on speculative (science) fiction and layered myth-making, together with mysterious traces of angelic magic, the artist seeks to open up discussions on ecology and the need for alternative ways of imagining extinction and evolution.

  • Ján Koniarek Gallery in Trnava (Synagogue – Centre of Contemporary Art)
  • Duration of the exhibition: 4 June – 30 August 2026
  • Exhibition curator: Edith Lázár

Annotation:

In our pursuit of unbounded knowledge accumulation and infinite energy we seem to carry the seeds of our own demise, but what if extinction isn't really the end? 

A Marriage of Flame and Flame conjures almost mystical visions and premonitions present in the scientific thought and the computational obsession with efficiency and control. András Cséfalvay draws on speculative (science) fictions and layered myth-making, alongside uncanny traces of angelic magic, to raise debates on ecology and the need for other imaginaries surrounding extinction and evolution. Somewhere, clouded in the future, a strange other sun – an endless energy born from the collapse of matter and anti-matter – casts its long shadows.
