English, Hungarian

The video installation is based on the Hungarian language book having the same title, which was published five times from 1965 to 1995 in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia. Despite of the radical social and political transformations of the region during those three decades, only the last edition of the book was updated: one single lesson, titled "In the factory" became "Businessman". These facts were the starting point for the storyboard of the video. Using similar language expressions of the book, the author wrote the dialogues based on her own personal experiences that took place in public spaces.
