The Inter-War Bourgeoisie- Forgacs found footage

Описание: Some of the elements that caught my attention while watching the found footages from Hungarian Interwar period included the lavish locations being shot, the wealthy family outings and materialistic possessions. This was in contrast to the economic situations that I had rad about in the period. The subjects of the clips inevitably appeared to be the people from middle classes.

Lenin was against WW 1 because he saw these wars as being carried out by Imperialist and capitalist forces. He saw the motive of war to be economic exploitation of weaker countries, especially by European powers. This makes the members of Bourgeoisie class complicit in the War that was to follow as well. Their everyday existence is not innocent, but is based on the exploitative system that denies others access to resources and dignity. Thus, I tried to portray that in my work. I have focused on their supposedly harmless life-style, focused on their material possessions, posh parts of city life, lavish rides and how it all eventually lands them in another war, far deadlier than the first one. The walk towards that war is personified by the child who keeps appearing every now and then in the video.
