Protected Age - Pension vest, 2014
I was interested in the relation to work. I asked People what there grandparents, parents worked, and what they work. For how long time they kept one job.
"In the second half of the twentieth century, Eastern European countries have been particularly affected by geo-political, power and social transformation. These processes have trickled down to families and individuals perspectives. Professions, jobs and hobbies are dominant element of social status and social trends from 1945 to the present. The “ Protected Age - Pension vest” drawing series compares several generations, the grandparents, parents and the young generation’s outlook on life through trades and other work." Zsolt Petrányi

"A huszadik század második felének geopolitikai, hatalmi és társadalmi átrendeződései a kelet-európai országokat különösen érintették. E folyamatok lecsapódása a család és az egyén életperspektíváinak változásaiban is mérhető. Ha csak a magyarországi családok történeteit vizsgáljuk, a szakma, a munkahely és a hobbi egyaránt meghatározó eleme a társadalmi és közösségi státusz alakulásának 1945-tól napjainkig. A „Védett kor” rajzai több generáció szakmáin és egyéb elfoglaltságain keresztül hasonlítják össze a nagyszülők, szülők és a fiatal generáció életszemléletét. A zászlókon a munkakört, míg a képeken családi fotók átértelmezésével és autonóm rajzokkal ezek esszenciáit láthatjuk." Petrányi Zsolt
