Soarta femeii - în oglindă

Abstract

The article offers the analysis of a temporary exhibition carried out by the "Haáz Rezső" Museum in Odorheiu Secuiesc and itinerated at the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest. The joint work of five Hungarian ethnographers from the counties of Harghita, Covasna and Mureş, the exhibition "Anna - Destiny of a Woman in the Twentieth Century" offers the visitor the presentation of a historical stage through the biography of a woman. Biography is not, in this case, a separate reality, metamorphosed in an exhibition, after going through the filter of curatorial conception, but the biography was itself created as an element of this conception. Anna's life is not just an invented, but a created story: it is a story that can be played in the countless colours of reality, a written monologue with an arc extended between 1920 and 1990.
