ARCHIVED WORK OF PARTICIPATING ARTISTS & SCHOLARS
Piroska É Kiss
Ghetto déjá vu
I am deeply committed to the problems of poverty and ghetto life - that is why I wanted to take part in the 2nd Ghetto Biennale.
Hungarian proverty has also created its ghettos, which are mostly inhabited by Gipsies. Despite a different standard of poverty, a different climate, different habits, etc, I think the athmosphere of hopelessness, the people living there, the objects created by them, and the art emerging there are similar in Hungarian and Haitian ghettos.
My project involves a series of photos showing the similarities, matching situations, scenes and moments. I sent many photos from Hungarian ghettos to a Haitian colleague, Romel Jean Pierre, who looked for the equivalents of my pictures in Port-au-Prince. Then he sent me ghetto photos whose equivalents I tryed to find in Budapest. We have continued this coupling of pictures till the beginning of the Biennale. I wanted to create a strong form of exhibiting those pictures on the walls of an alleyway. So we organized the pictures into the form of a tabloid.
