KUDÁSZ, GÁBOR ARION

…A camp is temporary habitation, and a city is a camp, which took roots. Inhabitants don’t drag it along their journeys anymore, as they carried their tents before, but they drag it through time. In fact it drags them.
We, townsmen are watchmen, even if we’re not exactly like night watchmen or security guards. The only superior aim of our variegated activity is to guard and maintain the camp, the net of camps. Day after day we try to stabilize the provisionality, and every time we fail to notice that the camp can only be temporary by its nature. We populate it, enlarge it, but it becomes empty by the caprice of fate and history.
After the final evacuation the difference vanishes between the estates, the barracks of the bunkhouses, the pioneer, internment or refugee camps.
Abandoned camps are all the same…
