#secondaryarchive is online now
@Lilla SzĂĄsz: Greetings from my new home (2018-2020)
Secondary Archive tells the history of non-Western â primarily Central and Eastern European â art through the lens of gender, covering the period after WWII through the present. This archive is composed of artistic statements and unknown pages of the biographies and practices of female artists, where one can see the names of those who have been marginalized, neglected, forgotten, or remain little known to the general public alongside artifacts from key female figures of non-Western art. The period covered by the archive embraces the artistic endeavors of three generations of women artists spanning from the 1960s onwards: from the first so-called neo-avant-garde generation that operated within the toughest period of communistic regime, with a mediatic turn through a conceptual approach; to the second generation, which emerged in the eighties and nineties, having witnessed the opening effects of the Fall of Communism in their early career; and the third generation who, having come of age at the time of political changes that have reshaped the face of present-day Europe

EIGHT WEEKS: HUNGARIAN PHOTOGRAPHERS DURING THE PANDEMIC
@Lilla SzĂĄsz, Mask Fashion (2020)
Eight Weeks
Eight weeks. This is how long we followed the activities of contemporary Hungarian photographers in the virtual space during the pandemic. The eight selections published on the Capa Center blog from week to week will appear in the physical space now in the form of a pop-up exhibition, commemorating the events of the past few months.
We all went through and reacted to the period of the COVID-19 pandemic in different ways, gaining a wide array of experience. The pandemic and its consequences have considerably impacted the lives of photographers as well. Yet, they continued doing what they do anyway: they took pictures. Of course, not exactly the same pictures and not exactly in the same way as before: some of them stayed at home and created a visual diary of the lockdown, while others would still go out on the streets to record the changed living conditions and cityscape. The radically changed experience of space and time was evident both behind and beyond the windowpane: gloves and masks put on and thrown away; disinfected places and fruits; empty urban spaces and rediscovered corners of the home; festivities and everyday life intertwined.
Life is slowly returning to normal while the reminiscences and consequences of the virus are still with us. The presented photographs provide an opportunity to look back at and reflect on the memorable spring that has possibly altered our relationship with the future as well. The exhibition, which was compiled to present a varied selection of creative attitudes and viewpoints, showcases this period through the images published on the public Instagram profile of thirty-nine photographers.

Artists: Petra Bauer & SCOT-PEP, Louise Carrin, Daniel Jacoby, Ditte HaarlĂžv Johnsen, Tadej PogaÄar, Lilla SzĂĄsz
Red Umbrella Struggles is an international group exhibition that revolves around the controversial and multifaceted topic of sex work. The show takes its inspiration from two newly commissioned projects by Edith-Russ-Hausâs 2018 Media Art Grant holders, Petra Bauer and Daniel Jacoby. Both artists are interested in investigating the topic through strategies of collaboration and dialogue.
Rather than merely representing and picturing sex workers and their industry, the artists of this exhibition, through means of conversation, move the emphasis from voyeurism or victimization to questions of dignity and rights. In acknowledging that sex workers are experts on their own lives, these artist projects look at how the complexities of gender, migration, and labor are involved in this battlefield of ideologies.
Swedish artist and filmmaker Petra Bauer has been working on a film project with SCOT-PEP, a sex-worker-led organization in Scotland, for the past three years. The result of their collaboration, Workers! (2019), was filmed inside the Scottish Trade Union Congress, a building rooted in workersâ struggles for rights and political representation. During their one day âoccupationâ of this institution, conversations unfolded that center the voices of sex workers in the discussion of their own labor and lives.
The complex exhibition installation includes the historical forerunner of Bauerâs work, Carole Roussopoulosâs documentary Les prostituĂ©es de Lyon parlent (1975). The film follows the story of the occupation of a church by 200 sex workers in protest of police harassment and dangerous working conditions. Workers! also takes inspiration from Chantal Akermanâs iconic Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), which depicts the daily routine of Jeanne as a mother, housewife, and sex worker. Bauerâs film is likewise a tool for exploring debates on womenâs work beyond the polarizing divisions prevalent in feminism, both past and present.
The video work Expression of an Egg (2019) by Daniel Jacoby takes the sleepless flow of live-stream webcamming sites as its source material. The realm of camming has grown incredibly fast over the past decade, facilitated by higher bandwidths and cheaper technologies. Expression of an Egg navigates a series of vaguely articulated images that eventually lead to a deeper connection with the online persona of one individual: webcam BDSM performer Matt, with whom Jacoby began virtually collaborating on the staging of a fiction. Using Hiroshi Teshigaharaâs movie The Face of Another (1964) as a reference and the live stream as a filming device, Jacobyâs video zeroes in on Matt as its protagonist. In an effort to relate to the main hero of the Japanese film, whose life is drastically affected when heâs given a prosthetic face, the webcammer creatively adapts scenes of the original film to his current camming avatar: a transvestite bimbo. Through symbols borrowed from Teshigahara, Matt attempts to represent a feeling of alienation present in the camming world that is potentially transferable to modern urban society at large.
The exhibition title, Red Umbrella Struggles, references the international symbol of the sex workersâ rights movement, which was first used in 2001 during a performative event organized by the Slovenian artist Tadej PogaÄar for the 49th Venice Biennale. The Red Umbrella March was part of PogaÄarâs participatory project CODE:RED (1999â), which researches and discusses various aspects of sex work as a specific parallel economy.
The exhibition presents various iterations of PogaÄarâs project, which, like Bauerâs, positions itself both as an artwork and as in service of the struggle for labor rights. Other works in the exhibition focus more on specific features and characteristic of this particular type of labor.
Lilla SzĂĄszâs photo installation Mother Michael Goes to Heaven (2008â10) is the result of a long-running collaboration and friendship with a group of sex workers in Budapest. The series portrays experiments in queer family structure by following the lives of its subjects as they protect and support each other on the boundaries of society, in a position riddled with precarity and insecurity.
In One Day (2007), Danish film director Ditte HaarlĂžv Johnsen represents the hardships of motherhood and the suffocating reality of migrant labor by following a day in the life of a West African sex worker in Copenhagen. Meanwhile, striking a lighter note, Louise Carrin lets us imagine through her documentary Venusia (2016) the boring and dull moments that also attend this job, aligning its ins and outs with any other type of work routine.
The various political and moral discourses on sex work tend to deprive sex workers of their voice and pose difficulties to their attempts to differentiate and shape their own identities. Red Umbrella Struggles pictures this social struggle of this marginalized profession, which is mirrored in the mutual support likewise involved in the artist collaborations.
Workers! by Petra Bauer and SCOT-PEP is showing concurrently at Collective, Edinburgh, Scotland, April 12âJune 30, 2019.

Greetings from my new home, Budapest Gallery, Budapest
The point of departure for Lilla SzĂĄszâs photographic project Greetings From My New Home is the story of the retornados, the nearly 800,000 Portuguese citizens who were resettled from Portuguese colonies in Africa (Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and SĂŁo TomĂ© e PrĂncipe) to Portugal in and around 1975.
As a result of the Portuguese colonial war which began in 1961, the dictatorial Second Republic gradually weakened, and with the military coup of 1974, a rapid process of decolonization began. The accommodation and integration of the retornados, equivalent to nearly a tenth of Portugalâs overall population at the time, was a major challenge for the state and constituted an important chapter in the 20th-century history of the country.
SzĂĄszâs photographs capture the personal aspects of this historical event, drawing attention to questions of nostalgia, memory, homelessness, and the plasticity of identity in the lives of those who have left their homes and were able, in varying degrees, to adapt to their new environments. Lilla SzĂĄsz makes use of a wide array of approaches to portraiture, offering us portraits of people and portraits of places. The points of departure for these private stories were locations which still exist today, homes of varying quality, from former five-star hotels to military barracks. These sites are the physical repositories of their former dwellersâ memories. The postcard quality of the photographs on display at the exhibition â their size and subject matter, which can be understood as a kind of allusion to the frequent portrayal of hotels on contemporary postcards â conjures a sense of travel, of transience, and offers a reminder of the past. Thus, the images of Greetings From My New Home arrive as messages sent half a century ago.
Lilla SzĂĄsz began work on this project as part of her Budapest Galleryâs Artist Exchange Program residency in Lisbon. She worked closely together on the project with the sociologist Elsa Peralta.

No Place Like Home# exhibition at La Junqueira Artist Residency, Lisbon, Portugal
N̶o̶ Place like Home reflects on notions of migration and the feeling of âhomeâ through different media including sculpture, installation, video, performance and photography. More specifically, these artworks explore how tourism, diaspora, forced migration and (de)colonialism influence collective and individual identity in different contexts - either historically and socio-economically.

For Family Reasons # exhibition at MODEM, Debrecen
@installation photo # credit: modem
@installation photo # credit: modem
The title of the exhibition refers to the phrase âI certify for family reasons that my child...â written in school report books, which goes back several decades.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, teachers do not ask what reason is behind the idiomatic expression. The exhibition attempts to show some of these possible reasons.
Peopleâs relationships with themselves and the world are fundamentally determined by their family environment, the relationships with their family members and â in many cases â their genealogy as well. In the last few years, the concept of family has reappeared prominently in many parts of the world; anyone can relate to the question because of their memories, feelings, stories, experiences, or the lack of all these. The definition of the family and its political interpretation are constantly present in the background of public debates in Hungary as well. The exhibition called For Family Reasons attempts to break out of the narrow context of the contemporary visual art and start a discussion with people who are open to it.
The exhibition consists of four units. The first unit examines the changes in the construction of the family in the Hungarian society from the perspective of social history and psychology from the middle of the 19th century to this day. The pair of social and personal viewpoints accompanies the whole exhibition in the form of word bubbles that appear by each and every artwork, fitting them into a collective coordinate system. The subject of domestic violence, which is regarded as social taboo, appears in the same space as well.
The second unit focuses on poems by contemporary poets. Contemporary Hungarian literature was an important inspiration for the conception of the exhibition, since the motif of the family has been prominently presented in many oeuvres for decades. Six artists from different disciplines of art were invited to select a poem from a list drawn up by literary scholars and the curator, and taking it as a starting point create an individual work, which is emphatically not a mere illustration.
In the third unit, there are works definitely created for this current exhibition by contemporary artists, who have already dealt with family issues during their career. The focus was on the relationships with grandparents and fathers, through which subjects such as mourning, love, respect, remembrance, and inheritance become unfolded.
In the final unit, the result of a workshop series lasting more than half a year is on view. Under the guidance of Pettendi-SzabĂł PĂ©ter, eight people, who are related to Debrecen in different ways, present stories through their own family photos whose meanings are interpretable for others as well, beyond the immediate family.
Artists: Ăfra JĂĄnos, Balogh ViktĂłria, EsterhĂĄzy Marcell, KemĂ©ny Lili, Kocsi Olga, Kolos ĂdĂĄm, Maria Lima Victor, Nagy Csilla, Nemes Csaba, NĂ©meth Ilona, Oravecz Imre, Puklus PĂ©ter, Schuller Judit FlĂłra

EXPERIENCING IMAGES
An exhibition by Hungarian photographers and children living in child protection care
Leader of the EXPERIENCING IMAGES project: TamĂĄs Hossala
Curator: Emese Mucsi
In January 2018, a photography-based art therapy and experiential education project was launched for minors living in the care of the Bolyai Foster Home Center â photographers and photo artists worked together with children to produce photographs and other photo-based artworks to help the self-expression and self-understanding of the young participants.
The EXPERIENCING IMAGES workshop series was led by photographer and art therapist TamĂĄs Hossala collaborating with ten Hungarian photographers.  These participants were Orsolya Ajpek, Szabolcs Barakonyi, MĂĄtĂ© Bartha, TamĂĄs Dobos, GĂĄspĂĄr KĂ©ri, Simon MĂłricz-SabjĂĄn, Ăva Rozovics, Bernadett SzabĂł, Lilla SzĂĄsz, and Ăva Szombat.
The EXPERIENCING IMAGES program was complemented with children activities workshops by DEMOWOOD as well as fairy tale therapy sessions by Edina Lentulay.
The EXPERIENCING IMAGES show in Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center presents the course and the developments of this almost one-year-long educational program and the works created in its framework.
âI integrated more than twenty yearsâ experience in this project gained as an artist photographer and childcare professional and I see it as a fruitful outcome of a strange crossover of art and care work. I am committed to producing quality artworks throughout the photographic process both regarding the children and the participant photographers. The young participants living in childcare are starting their lives at a disadvantage and I am convinced that we can contribute to the diminution of this handicap by the realization of this project using all our personal and professional knowledge as well as high-quality tools. In the course of the collaboration of photographers and pupils we were exploring the limits and capabilities of photography.â (TamĂĄs Hossala)
