The key to Péter Szalay’s work is in the use of materials. The artist made the Yin-Yang symbol of Chinese philosophy from two different types of plasterboard: the pink part is fire resistant and the green is water resistant. Made using simple DIY materials and tools, beyond being an ironic mediatic reflection on the ancient symbol, the piece evokes the millennial artistic practice in which the use of various noble materials had iconographic significance.
