Home is where Work is - A message from my brother

A message from my brother.

The migration of workers started taking on massive proportions from the end of the nineteenth century, a process in which Hungary is still involved as both a sender and a receiver country.

Despite our involvement, all we have is a fragmented image of the people who work away from their families to provide for the present and future of those who remain at home.

Between 2023-24 Anna Fabricius collaborated with workers from the Far East employed in agriculture or process manufacturing.

The works they have created together are not documentary representations. Instead, through situations created for the sake of making videos and taking photos, they demonstrate the personal experience of inclusion, acceptance, feeling of absence, familial love and responsibility.

The organising force behind the exhibition is ‘invisibility’. Migrant workers are invisible to the majority of society and their contribution to our common well-being, as well as hidden forms of caring for each other and their loved ones.
