Inconnu Art Group. State security photos of a banned exhibition

The exhibition entitled “A harcoló város/The Fighting City, 1986” was organized by the amateur artist group Inconnu to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The police banned the event on the opening day and destroyed the artworks. However, before that, an agent took photos of the compositions. Thus, the secret police itself created, through the act of destruction, a group of sources which is today the single visual trace of the exhibition. This photo collection is kept in the Historical Archives of the Hungarian State Security Forces (Állambiztonsági Szolgálatok Történeti Levéltára – ÁBTL).

名为《战火之城，1986年》的展览由业余艺术家团体Inconnu举办，以庆祝1956年匈牙利革命的30周年纪念。然而，警方在开幕当日禁止了此次活动，并摧毁了展品。尽管如此，在破坏行为发生之前，一名特工已对作品进行了拍照。因此，秘密警察本身通过破坏行为，创造了一组至今仍为展览唯一视觉记录的源材料。这一照片集合被保存在匈牙利国家安全力量历史档案馆（Állambiztonsági Szolgálatok Történeti Levéltára – ÁBTL）。
