Seriously?! Photos of refugees, both children and adults, in life-size hanging on the wall, and in front of these photos, a barbed wire fence. Seriously?! Is this a serious attempt to fake reality?
After you leaving the first room of Bela Tarr's exhibition space, you get to the rooms which contain his real art: a fragment from his film Satantango which envokes goosbumps. In this fragment we see a girl walking towards us, holding a cat that she killed. Cruelty and despair hit you in the face and break your heart, unlike the fake reality from the first room.
