2009
I have long been interested in the kind of subliminal space that is both unsettled and unsettling. As a way of giving shape to the myth of the ideological central and authorised view (be it the sanitised picturesque, the official 'face' of urban development, or the controlling gaze of surveillance), I have been drawn towards a more oblique portrayal of the political landscape. Europark, 2009 presents the area around a tired shopping centre on the edge of Budapest. 20 years of capitalism has situated 'Europark' somewhere between a 'work-home-leisure' landscape; these images aimed to present a space where all three seem to have dried up.
