(disparities) 2001
I was living in a popular district
and went for the first time in the touristic streets. The two districts
are very close to each other. That's probably why the disparities
strike me strongly as a non-sense. People don't look the same, they
have totally different attitudes and lifes: I had to show this opposition.
I took a mattress and a pillow
and went in the street. I installed my "bed" in streets
choosen in those two districts to create a connection between places
and between people that pass or live there.
Bed because it's common to everyone and the basis of home: our roof
is protecting before all our fragility when sleeping. Bed because
there is a lot of homeless people in Hungarian streets and that
hurted me a lot.
I first made this work for the
person who pretend knowing the town without being away from the
touristic streets. That's why
I wanted to exhibit those 21 photos in
the metro that they often use...
