This exhibition is a
selection of images
, embracing a series of
suprises
, from a
guide book of Budapest
, which has - at least so far - only been published once. Following the
subjective map of the city
made up of
photographs
, we can get from “the little mole’s” red car to the sign that, while pointing to the sky, continues to signal one-way traffic even in this out-of-balance world.
The
correlations between details of the city captured from unusual points of view
show a
living space full of signs and meanings
. In these photographs, the city is neither beautiful, nor ugly but it is
itself
. Bearing traces of
human presence
, it is a place where
people on the hurry
live in peaceful coexistence with the
city’s hidden signal system
, such as the elf with the green face.
On the one hand, this
special photography collection
incorporates images born out of
framing the juxtaposition of the casual
; on the other hand, it encompasses messages from
unknown senders
left in public spaces for the other, for others. It is embraced by the
poetics of city life
, combined with those five steps on the road that lead nowhere to the
colorful airships floating above the sky
and clouds of the huge firewall.
Some sights might be familiar, some we may never find as they were
intermittent installations
and constellations of then and there. Or we may find some that we can look for during our known and not yet traveled journeys.
