Meie isa palve.
Euroopa Liit, kes Sa meid valitsed! Pühitsetud olgu Sinu nimi. Sinu riik kestku. Sinu tahtmine sündigu nagu määrustes, nõnda ka meil. Meie igapäevast toetust anna meile Brüssel. Ja anna meile andeks meie erinevused, nagu teised nii püüame ka meie olla. Ja ära jäta meid võlgadesse, vaid päästa meid ära kurjast. Sest Sinu päralt on riik ja vägi ja võim igavesti. Aamen |
The Prayer for the Holy Father
European Union, Who governs us Holy is Your Name; Your state shall last, Your verdict will be done, on people as in laws. Our everyday support we do give to Brussels and forgive us our differences, as everybody else will try to exist Do not leave us your debts but deliver us from evil. Because yours is the State, the Force and the Power Amen. |
Miatyánk
Európai Uniónk, aki uralkodsz rajtunk! Szenteltessék meg a Te neved. Maradjon meg a Te országod. Legyen meg a Te akaratod, amint a rendeletekben, úgy nálunk is. Mindennapi támogatásunkat add meg nekünk Brüsszel. És bocsásd meg különbségeinket, miképpen mi is próbálunk olyanok lenni, mint mások. És ne hagyj minket adósságban, de szabadíts meg minket a gonosztól. Mert Tiéd az ország, a hatalom és az erő mindörökké. Ámen. |
Pater noster (patris nostri oratio)
Unio Europaea, qui nos imperas! Sanctificetur nomen tuum. Maneat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut disposuit, sic erit. Da nobis quotidie subsidium nostrum, Bruxelles. Et dimitte nobis diversa nostra, nos sicut alii studemus esse. Et ne nos relinquas in debitis, sed libera nos a malo. Quia tuum est regnum et potestas et imperium sempiternum. Amen. |
Tähelepanu. Tegemist on kunstiteosega. Kunstniku eesmärk pole kellegi usuliste tunnete solvamine ega poliitiliste tõekspidamiste propageerimine.
Attention. This is an artwork. Artist's goal is not to insult anyone's religious feelings, or to make propaganda for political statements.
Figyelem, ez egy müvésteti projekt. A müvesznek nem áll szándékában bárki vallásos érzelmeit megsérteni vagy politikai nézeteket propagalni.

Kirjutasin uue ja tänapäevasesse ühiskondlik-poliitilisse konteksti paigutatud versiooni ühele vanale kristlikule palvele. Igapäevaselt meediat tarbides, tuli selline tekst ühel hetkel lihtsalt ise pähe. Kuna teema oli aktuaalne, arendasin selle Ungari Kunstiakadeemias õppides professor Allan Siegeli juhendamisel avaliku ruumi performance'iks. Lasin teksti tõlkida inglise, ladina ja ungari keelde ning üheksandal mail 2012, Euroopa Liidu päeval, Budapesti linnapargis toimunud performance käigus lugesin selle neljas keeles ette.
Performance põhjustas segaduse ja hulga vastakaid arvamusi Ungari Kunstiakadeemias. Sealses ühiskondlikus kõlapildis domineerivad väga äärmuslikud ja omavahel sallimatud vaenupooled ning minu katse neutraalselt positsioonilt ja kunstilise kujundi kaudu kõiki puudutaval teemal teos luua, paigutati automaatselt selle võitluse konteksti.
Pärast performance'it toimus hulk arutelusid, mis avasid minu, lihtsa vahetusüliõpilase jaoks täiesti uued vaated Ungari
ühiskonnale ja selle probleemkohtadele.
Kaaskiri performance'i videodokumentatsioonile näitusel "Vendégjárás":
Some years ago I was writing a new text for the old and important christian prayer: Prayer for the Holy Father. I connected this prayer with European Union thematics, because in some cases I was noticing parallels with religion and the way how some people and politicians talk about this union. And becuse this topic is currently very hot and important, I decided to use it. I looked over the text, some people helped me translate it to english, hungarian, and latin language. The plan was, that on the 9th May (day of European Union) I would read those prayers, tied to the cross, which would be placed in the middle of the waterfall in City Park.
Because this mixture of religion and EU thematics is quite sensitive and charged in Hungary just now, I was prepared for the possibility of problems arising when walking with the cross in the streets or in the park when I read my prayers, but actually, there were problems in the Budapest Art University, before I was started.
I had made flyers with the prayers, which also remarked that this is an art project, not political propaganda or attack against religion. My plan was, that somebody could hand the flyers to the public, when I read my prayers on the cross...
But, before leaving, one painting professor saw them in the University. He was very irrational and anrgy and took them from a girl, who should have been helping hand out the flyers. He ordered,that this girl had to stay in the studio and after that, he came to find me. He was bawling that I am a fucking nazi and he was going to speak with the Rektor and police. Also he promised to organize that I would be thrown out from university...
I tried to explain to him, that this is only an art project and ask for my flyers back, but he wasn`t listening and it ended in confrontation.
After that I decided to leave the flyers and go and do the performance without them. But because I didn`t have the flyers, most of the people who were watching the performance in the park could not understand the words.
Let everyone decide for themselves, if it was a good or bad artwork, but anyway after this performance I have had many discussions and it has opened a lot of questions. The main criticism for me is, that because of the political situation in Hungary, I maybe should not have done this performance. But I would like to ask, is it right then, that only extremists can discuss about some thematics, what is important for everyone? Where else then is it possible to find free mind, discussion and open ways of thinking, if not in an Art University? Sometimes art needs to be a little bit provokative, it is normal that artists try to work with contemporary issues or test the boundaries.
