Electronic Arts Intermix: Péter Forgács

Péter Forgács

Overview

Hungarian artist Péter Forgács explores the historical and the cultural via the private, in works that merge drama and anthropology, documentary and diary. Recontextualizing archival home movies and film journals from the past, he transforms personal documents of everyday lives into haunting narratives of 20th-century Hungary, outside of "official" history.
