My life: Well, it could have formed differently, but I know that this card was assigned to me, and I drew bad cards. There is a commonly used sentence that if there was a book about my life, readers couldn\u2019t decide whether it would end up as a tragedy or a comedy.<\/p>\n<p>Who am I? Currently, I am only an invalid. Sick. Woman. A woman, who lives together with her mother and an Autistic boy, the son of her younger sister, but I raise him. Who I used to be is much more interesting. I worked in the porn business. I worked in the erotic business. I worked in the night. I worked in the media. Still, I was forgotten within a week.<\/p>\n<p>I am not proud of my past. If I could turn back time, I would never ever become a porn actress. I would be much more perseverant and become an archaeologist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mendi is a former porn actress who lives together with her mother and her sister\u2019s son, Richard, an Autistic boy. Mendi cares about them both. Mendi struggles with obesity and diabetes; she has lived on a disability pension since she left the porn industry. She doesn\u2019t like going outside and mostly plays on the computer or cards with the family. Her mother, Elizabeth, is a pensioner who is always at home too. She likes watching talk shows on TV. They quarrel a lot with Mendi, mostly because of the lack of money. Richard is not Mendi\u2019s son; he was left to her care by Mendi\u2019s sister, who, after finding out that her son was Autistic, left him behind. Mendi loves Richard as her own son. The series try to capture Mendi\u2019s everyday struggles to care about her mother, her nephew, and to bear the unbearable thing that is life.<\/p>\n<p>My book <em>MENDI: The Sensual Heart Attack<\/em> (2013) is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/MENDI-sensual-heart-attack-Lilla\/dp\/B0C33MH8BJ\">&gt;&gt; available to purchase &lt;&lt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>main exhibitions:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>2018: <i>Women in\u00a03 Acts<\/i> (Paz Err\u00e1zuriz, Gluklya, Anastasia Khoroshilova, Ditte Lyngkaer Pedersen, Maya Schweizer, Lilla Sz\u00e1sz), Gallery INDA, Budapest (curator: Kati Simon)<br \/>\n2018: <i>Women in\u00a03 Acts<\/i> (Paz Err\u00e1zuriz, Gluklya, Ditte Lyngkaer Pedersen, Maya Schweizer, Katarina \u0160o\u0161ki\u0107, Lilla Sz\u00e1sz), Galerie\u00a0Fotohof, Salzburg (curator: Kati Simon)<br \/>\n2016: <i>Dazzle<\/i> \u2013 Gallery INDA, Budapest\u00a0(curator: Monika Perenyei)<br \/>\n2013: <i>In Kitchen.
