Heroes’ Square, Budapest, is a world heritage site that was built in 1896 to commemorate 1,000 years since the arrival of the Hungarians in the Carpathian Basin. It also has the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Statues in the square depict War and Peace, Work and Welfare, Knowledge and Glory.
This outdoor hidden projection encourages reflection on the relationship between traditional values and the values of commerce, on the relationship between the capture of territory and the capture of contemporary images. It also acknowledges its role as a photo of a photographer and in this sense asks us to think deeply about the spectacular nature of contemporary capitalism.
