​

I was an Erasmus+ student in Nuremberg from 2021-2022. This book documents the city and the COVID life situation from my perspective as a guest student. 

 

I chose the Nuremberg heart-shaped gingerbread motif because I found a parallel with the Hungarian mirrored gingerbread heart. Also, by over-decorating the heart format, I wanted to symbolize my „perfect, imperfect” life during my fellowship. During my Erasmus years, I found that I was in a kind of dream world, surrounded by many new and positive experiences, but a life situation like the scholarship is temporary and rare. The pink mist is not always so pleasant, as you have to build a life on your own in a foreign country and find new connections, which is made more difficult by the restrictions imposed by your covid, you can fall ill at any time and you have to manage almost everything on your own. 

​

The structure of the book is chronological, starting as an observation of the city and its surroundings, then moving closer and closer to realistic life, new friendships, and a sense of home.
