THE SILENT SHIFT
LENE MARQUARDT
Drawing from my own personal experiences of growing up in Berlin, witnessing the drastic consequences of gentrification, I have been wondering how this transformational process takes place in Józsefváros, the 8th district of Budapest. I have been exploring the residues and traces of places, former homes, and the ongoing constructions. The project invites viewers not only to see but also to feel the impact of gentrification. I hope to encourage dialogue about the future urban spaces and the importance of preserving cultural identity of people and their homes.
