János Vámos

Can one shift from one home to another? What does one take with them when commuting between these two places? What would they bring with themselves if they knew they could never come back home? What does ’home’ look like? What makes a home? What is needed for a place to be called ’home’? And when is this place ceased to be called ’home’? How many homes can one have at the same time? And if there are multiple, can one feel at home in all of these places?

When János tells me his stories, there is merely a few that would involve only one location. Not to mention his past weeks, I could barely sum it up in a few sentences, however it would be key to seize the importance of these weeks, given this is what the exhibiton is all about.

Svodín, Prague, Budapest. Thousands of kilometers by train, by car. Here and there, up and down, right to the left, amongst the places. He continues to tell me those stories, yet I tend to get lost in all the places. Mostly when he says ’I was coming from home’ or ’I went home’ or ’I have to go home’. I have to stop him and ask. Which ’home’ of yours are you talking about? And he makes clear which is his current ’home’ in mind.

For some people ’home’ is marked as an exact location. For some of us...
