A Hungarian blue-collar worker, Barnabas retreats every year for one month in a forest to live in and from nature in order to create astonishing sculptures that remain unrevealed to the outer world.
Barnabas, a Hungarian blue-collar worker, retreats every year for a month to the forest. He survives on the fruit he finds and of the fish he catches in the Tisza, a tributary river of the Danube flowing through East-Hungary. During his first week, he solely eats fruit and meditates, in order to absorb as much of the surrounding natural energy as possible. This is how he becomes able to distinguish shapes and forms in nature, unobservable for others. Barnabas then starts to create astonishing sculptures out of chalk stone, inspired by his visual experiences. Barnabas has been engaging in this annual ritual since the past thirty years. Every year he creates new sculptures that remain unrevealed to the outer world.—Anonymous
