Ilona Nemeth

for the show at amt _ project, ilona nemeth has chosen two phenomena, interesting her for a longer time, unused architectonical objects, that for a certain period of time served to entrepreneurs, and a family archive of her own family members.

the architectonical objects from dunajská streda, placed in private gardens, on the land of family houses, or directly belonging to family houses, were born in the last years as family businesses, with the intention to make their own situation better by private business. the entrepreneuristic hopes were not fulfilled for different reasons and the objects have remained empty, as a "mementum of endeavor" and "monuments of hope". she bid four founders of the photoclub in dunajská streda, lászló sóos, péter hodosy, lászló gondor and béla edmár to cooperation. they mapped the whole city of dunajská streda and found 16 such objects, which these photographers photographed in their own style.
