HOME IS WHERE WORK IS

Photographer and media artist Anna Fabricius has been researching the role of work in shaping culture and lifestyle for years. In her new work, she uses the social relations of transnational families to highlight the fundamental tensions in the workings of global capitalism, including the essential yet undervalued role of invisible labour in ensuring social reproduction.

The migration of workers has been on a massive scale since the end of the nineteenth century, a process in which Hungary is still involved as both an emitter and a recipient country. Despite this, we have only a fragmented picture of people who work away from their families to provide for the present and future of those who remain at home. Anna Fabricius has spent the past year working with workers from the Far East, whether in agriculture or manufacturing. The works they have created together are not documentary depictions, but rather situations created for the sake of video and photography, showing the personal experience of inclusion, acceptance, lack, family ties and responsibility. The organising force of the exhibition is 'invisibility'. Migrant workers are invisible to the majority of society and also their contribution to our common well-being, as well as hidden forms of caring for each other and their loved ones.  

Anna Fabricius, winner of the 2023 Kassák Prize for Contemporary Art, is a lecturer at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, and her photographic and video works are regularly included in national and international exhibitions.
