Exploring an always changing parts of Tatabánya.
more... Bánhida as a Hungarian village was first mentioned in charters in 1288. Bánhida had rich historical past during the next centuries. In 1947 it had been united with 3 other mining villages: Alsógalla, Felsőgalla and Tatabánya under the name of 'Tatabánya' - and so it became a part of a town, losing its autonomy.
in this series I'm mainly dealing with the marks of human presence in Bánhida, a kind of topographical research for ever-changing scenes of the town. These scenes may not seem to be aesthetical in a common sense, however they are unavoidably parts of our man-altered environment and include a lot of things that most people don't even like to look at - like poles, ramshackle fences, traffic signs, concrete, dirt road, sometimes uncultivated plants etc. -, which I find really interesting and exciting. I try to find a new balance, context and interpretation of these environmental elements.
