...to (disparities) |

Beds in Hungary, the 1st of decembre 2001 I installed a mattress and a pillow in 21 places of Budapest to speak about the disparities that I found there. I wanted to exhibit the photos of the installation in the wagon of the touristic metro of Budapest which follow the most famous avenue of the inner city. |

The manager of the BKV society answered me that it wasn't possible because, as the metro is an historical monument, any kind of hanging is forbidden. (Should I say that a few time later, 2 billboards for advertisement were hanging in each wagon; the law is not always heard...). He suggested me to exhibit in the 2 other metros that recently had a specific place for artistic posters (named "Métro Galéria" and that quieckly disappeard). But, because those board were to be rent for a few millions of forints -and because my photographs were "not beautiful enough to be appreciate by a large public"- this man suggested me, as I am French, to take pictures of the Paris monuments and to ask a financial support from the Tourist Office... So I decided to exhibit my pictures at home one evening; a lot of different kind of people came. |
