ABOUT

Viktor Pál was born and raised in the beautifully mountains and valleys of Northeast Hungary.

Part of Viktor's ancestry is unknown, however on the maternal side Viktor's ancestors were proud Rusyn farmers, who arrived from Western Ukraine to the village of Görömböly in the eighteenth century. Viktor's grandparents spoke Rusyn as first language in childhood. After WWII similarly to other Rusyn families, their language, traditions and thus Rusyn culture gradually became assimilated by the surrounding Hungarian majority. Viktor does not speak Rusyn, but honors Ruysn ancestors who settled in and loved the lands around the Bükk Mountains.  

Mountains and Plains

Since childhood Viktor often wondered about how humans have changed the mountains and plains around Northeast Hungary and vice versa, how nature influenced various ethnic groups living in the area. Viktor's fascination turned into a research stream and numerous publications in this vein. 

Minimalism and Socialism

As a child Viktor's family, similarly to most living in Hungary's heavily industrialized, grim Borsod Basin, had to get by with little. Minimalist lifestyle and the minimalization of resource use via reuse, repair and recycling thus became a passion  for little Viktor in the 1980s. Viktor takes those minimalist ideas very seriously ever since and developed a second research stream about discards and waste.
