Whose Nostalgia Is Ostalgia?

Original language description

The text focuses on different ways of depicting, analyzing and interpreting the recent past in the visual art of Central European countries such as Hungary, Poland, Czech and Slovak republic. In the post-communist societies, a huge amount of nostalgic atmosphere can be spotted. In visual arts, a strong tendency of reflecting the past is imminently current: the so-called “historiographical turn” seems not to be spent yet. But a particular group of authors and works can be marked - those who reflect a socialist past in various ways and points of view. These artists belong to the generation born in the seventies, so they have spent most of their childhood and adolescence in socialism.They stand in the borderline between two worlds and two different points of view. A common feature of their work is a perception of a local space in its historical connotations, exploring of historical contents, reception of causality and time-space orientation of a man. They focus on collective memory, its metamorphosis and processes. Using space with its physical and symbolical expression is their strategy; a specific interest is a process of searching, changing or losing the identity in a historically complicated area of Central Europe. One of the crucial element of their art is nostalgia - as a “vehicle of memory”, mediator of collective and personal identity.
