I want to do a photographic essay, but the one
that would combine visual images produced by people and those taken by my
collaborator and me. There is a web that represents the project of a golf-club,
intended to be built in the vicinity of one Hungarian village. The project
started before the Global Financial crisis in 2008 and after the bankruptcy
left the unfinished landscape of the golf club. The territory is fenced and
abandoned. The web site shows photos of the construction as evidence of the
potential of the project to attract investments and sell apartments that were
planned to build nearby. Through reconstructing the photographic process by
trying to produce photos that would be a double to the authentic initial ones
we do not only create the classical pair of before and after, but also would analyze
how project presentation is built up, and what constitutes the world of
dreaming about neoliberal projects, such as international golf-clubs in
Hungarian countryside.
