Immersion refers to the state of being fully engrossed. In the context of this exhibition, it means traversable or circumnavigable spaces, objects, and the sequences thereof, where visual and auditory experiences are available in three dimensions.

Zsigmond Kisfaludi Strobl completed his magnum opus, the Liberty Statue of Budapest in 1947, in just two years. It was originally a monument dedicated to the ‘liberating’ Soviet forces at the end of World War II. However, elements of the composition alluding to its original purpose were removed, and it still stands tall on top of Gellért Hill as a beacon of Hungarian freedom today.
