The Cult of Death -- Культ смерти

On April 1 I took part in a tour of Farkasret Cemetery (Budapest) which was organized by Bernadett Ball as a part of the conference 'Alternative Culture(s) and Urban Space organized by International Alternative Culture Center (Hungary) and Urban Laboratory at European Humanities University (Lithuania) in cooperation with CEU Curriculum Resource Center, OSI HESP, OSA Archivum at CEU and McMaster University (Canada). Bernadett, an expert on the topic, believes that the cemetery is a place where cultural change comes even slower then within the confines of the city. This can be explained by its use as a national landscape of heroes, its function as a burial ground, which deserve respect, and its codified religious iconoclasm which seems locked in time. Many thanks to Bernadett for the great tour and enjoy the photos!
