Contribuțiile lui Gyöngyi Gallusz la Colecția de artă contemporană a Parlamentului European explorează, pe lângă alte exemple, consecvența prin schimbare și invers. Artista maghiară a studiat asiduu: a studiat istoria la Colegiul Pedagogic al Universității Eötvös Loránd (1983–1987); a studiat arta grafică la Colegiul de Arte Frumoase din Budapesta (1989-1994); a urmat studii postuniversitare la aceeași instituție în perioada 1994-1996. Dorința sa de a învăța s-a transformat în dorința de a preda, artista deținând diferite funcții didactice de-a lungul timpului. Determinate spațial și perceptiv, lucrările imprimate extrem de conceptuale ale lui Gallusz pun sub semnul întrebării armonia prin contrast. „Changes of the Rules in extra Dimensions I & II” ilustrează bine acest demers de căutare. Cele două imagini prezintă același punct de vedere și aceeași perspectivă. Această consecvență evidențiază parametrii care introduc variația: lumina, culoarea și poziția. Umbra proiectată a șezlongului își schimbă amplasarea, intensitatea și unghiul în funcție de ceea ce privitorul poate doar să presupună că este poziția luminii naturale: soarele. Realitatea materială imobilă (perete, sol, modele grafice etc.) echilibrează factorii perceptivi volatili într-un diptic care transmite calitatea poetică și complementară a acestor elemente contrastante.
