Original and founder members are Bokros Péter, Molnár Tamás, Csécsei Mihály, Mészáros Bánk, Letenyei József, Sipos Mihály, Kopács Kovács Miklós, Morva Ibolya. The foundation date of the group is unknown. As Péter Bokros remembers (in 2005); they started their common activities in 1978, Cegléd, but their name wasn't "inconnu" then.
They took part in (often illegal) exhibitions and performances in the eighties; and were considered as an important part of the Hungarian democratic opposition both in Hungary and in abroad. From 1979 they were subject to serious manhunt by the Hungarian authorities, and they were continuously followed and eyed by secret agents ([1]).
