Vizafog\u00f3 1968<\/h1>\n

May 12 \u2013 June 5, 2015<\/h2>\n

The Vizafog\u00f3 1968<\/em> series shot by Endre Kov\u00e1cs consists of special \u201cfound pictures\u201d: in fact they belong to a series called \u2018Amnesia temporis \u2013 Temporal amnesia\u2019<\/em>, but lives an independent life in it. These photos found in the artist\u2019s private archive and shot before his emigration in the late sixties were exhibited several times, and involve only one single photo of the 52 pieces that were made in a manufacturing district in Budapest about a Roma family who lived in shacks.<\/p>\n

The exhibition aims to show the artist\u2019s unique approach not characteristic of the epoch and draws aparallel with the Urban Gypsies<\/em> (L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Moholy-Nagy, 1932), reflecting on the representation ofnomadism and its relation to artistic identity. Belonging to the sociophotos of the epoch but invisible for the contemporaries marks out from the visual environment of the period. Endre Kov\u00e1cs with his artist friends, P\u00e9ter Breznyik and L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Kov\u00e1cs made an excursion to Vizafog\u00f3 in order to record the life of the families living among poor and unusual circumstances inthe shadow of factories. The undeveloped negatives are the prints of a world in whose poverty representations are difficult to interpret today. Despite the obviously difficult living conditions the objects look into the camera and behave cheerfully and easily, but their gestures of course do not recall the \u201ehurrah-optimism\u201d of the epoch. Many of them would fit into the rich private photo collection of the \u00dajpest Gipsy Community House. Let us imagine, we watch the missing pieces of the archive of the local Roma families belonging to different social groups, since the ones in the photos could hardly afford being shot. The exhibited photos are framed with a personal story that is ought to represent the critical and emotional aspects of the contradictional researcher\u2013curator position.<\/p>\n
