In Nyugati metro station, there were a lot of old and faded photographs of historical places in Budapest in display frames alongside the platforms. Some of the pictures were missing and had been replaced by blank white boards, most of which had since been covered in graffiti. I noticed a photograph of the central section of Hõsök ter (Heroes Square) - where there is a large monument to the saints and kings of Hungary's past - with two of these boards, covered in graffiti, flanking it on either side where the space and monument should extend. After a lot of phone calls, letters, and faxes, I managed to get permission to borrow the most distinctive of these boards. I then went to Heroes square and had a photograph taken of me holding the board aloft in the part of the square adjacent to the central column. The board was then returned to its original location and the photograph enlarged and cropped so that when placed in the frame to the right of the central picture, it would complete the right side of the monument and appear to be an extension of that same space. Due to some distinctive marks on the board, it was easy to recognise the one physically located in the frame on the left and the one documented as being held on location in the photograph on the right as being the same. In the triptych that resulted, a connection across centuries of time was then made between the few officially selected heroes from Hungarian history, given fixed permanent representation in stone carved statues and the 'democratic,' unofficial, temporary marks made in the underground as self made monuments to some of the city’s contemporary citizens.
