Cívis Scenes of Life

MODEM art center 1-3 Hunyadi János Street, Debrecen, Hungary

A sensual insight  into the interiors and daily lives of the residents of the typical residential buildings, known as "cívis" houses, which still dominate Debrecen's skyline and are encircled by high walls and shrouded in mystery, will be provided by the photo exhibition that opens at MODEM Project Space on April 17. The exhibition, titled“ Debrecen-Pairidaeza I Levente Vigh’s Everyday Cívis Scenes of Life” explores the interiors of undocumented 'cívis' houses, focusing on everyday moments and cultural-anthropological context. Photographs by Levente Vigh were taken during site visits for a project by Attila Harangi and Viktor Löki in 2019. The exhibition aims to alleviate the strangeness surrounding these houses by showing them as unique living spaces that can be adapted to contemporary needs. The images reveal charming human-scale dwellings, gardens, oases, wagon gates, and barrel vaults.
