László Rajk’s series entitled Missing Paragraph pays personal tribute to those paragraphs of the first democratic Constitution of the Hungarian Republic which have been left out of the Orbán government’s new Fundamental Law came into force on the 1st of January 2012.
The object of the draughtsman's tribute, the paragraphs of the Constitution of the Hungarian Republic has disappeared from his canvas. To preserve it, he has no choice but to use the ancient frottage technique of Japanese fishermen, rendering the canvas so as to make the missing phenomena – or rather its absence – visible.
