MOVING IMAGE
Moving image works extends Universal Visual Language into time, movement and spatial perception.
EMOTIONS
Major Moving-Image Work
EMOTIONS unfolds within a reduced monochromatic space, where ritual movement, bodily presence, and emotional tension become the primary elements of perception.
EMOTIONS extends Universal Visual Language into an intimate temporal field where image, movement, sound, and human presence are reduced to their essential relations. Through monochromatic space, repetitive choreographed movement, and controlled visual intensity, the work approaches emotion not as narrative content, but as a physical and perceptual force unfolding through time.
A restrained soundscape and slowly transforming visual states create a suspended condition in which psychological tension, ritual concentration, transcendence, and spiritual intimacy converge.
A temporal manifestation of Universal Visual Language.
AWAKENING
Major Moving-Image Work
A temporal and performative manifestation of Universal Visual Language, shaped through animated image, choreographed movement, and layered spatial illusion.
Awakening extends Universal Visual Language into a temporal and performative structure where animation, contemporary dance, projected image, and spatial illusion converge. Conceived by Attila Konnyu as author, director, and producer, the work moves beyond conventional cinematic narrative, unfolding through transforming visual fields, choreographed movement, and shifting relationships between body, image, and space.
A defining element is the use of holographic projection curtains arranged in layered depth, allowing the performers to inhabit an unstable field between physical presence and projected apparition. Through this convergence, the visual language of the physical works is translated into movement, duration, and spatial experience.

SELECTED RELATED WORKS
MEDITATION
Selected Moving-Image Work
A temporal environment shaped through silence, movement, and atmospheric space.
ESSENCE OF HUMANITY
Selected Moving-Image Work
A cinematic reflection on human presence, memory, and collective emotion unfolding through movement.
Meditation explores states of perception through reduced movement, cinematic duration, and spatial atmosphere.
Unfolding through rhythm, silence, and gradual visual transformation, the work creates a suspended field in which attention shifts from narrative toward presence and perceptual experience.
A moving-image work within Universal Visual Language.
Essence of Humanity explores human presence, memory, and collective emotion through moving image, choreographed movement, and atmospheric space. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the work unfolds through fragmented visual fields and shifting spatial relationships, where the human figure appears simultaneously as physical presence and archetypal form.
Through this convergence of image, movement, and perception, individual experience opens toward a broader reflection on vulnerability, memory, and the shared conditions of human existence.

CARMINA BURANA
Selected Performative Work
A large-scale convergence of music, projected image, movement, and architectural space.
Developed in collaboration with the Hungarian State Opera, Carmina Burana brought symphonic music, projected imagery, contemporary movement, and architectural space into a unified performative environment. Rhythm, repetition, and spatial intensity transformed the stage into an expanded field of visual and perceptual experience.
Attila Konnyu participated as co-creator and visual author, contributing to the work’s visual structure and atmospheric language. Seen within the trajectory of his practice, the production anticipates later investigations into the relationship between image, movement, time, and space.
An early performative antecedent to Universal Visual Language.
