Beke: on three walls facing the door
Czech - Slovak - Hungarian
words - words - words
On the big wall: Beke’s handshake concept
Beke’s action: approximately 15x15 photos of Czech and Hungarian artists shaking hands.
Pauer: pseudo-cards on the right-hand side of the door, made together [with the participants]
