// How to travel together since you are not here?
It is my most personal (ongoing) project about my maternal grandmother Edit who was born at lake Balaton in Hungary, lived all her life there and never traveled abroad. She always had a passport which she renewed every 4 years "just in case" but never left her native country.
My dream was to take her to the sea which I could never fulfill because she passed away early. All I have left are photographers of her documenting her entire life at the lake. When I travel I take them with me.
The project was part of the Belgrade Photo Festival in 2018 and it was presented in the EL OBSERVATORIO creative space in Barcelona.

Balaton is not a huge lake. Still in Hungary people often refer to it as the Hungarian sea. On a clear day you can easily see the other side but sometimes during winter the horizon fades into the mist and the lake becomes the sea.
// Postcards from Keszthely
I asked my friends from abroad to send me a description of a place which they visited and liked. Then based on the description I recreated these landscapes in my hometown in Keszthely with an analog film camera.
I no longer see them as landscapes but minds capes because they all express personal feelings through the elements of nature, colors and light.
Presented for the group show Piensa y Dispara - Un Viaje Fotográfico in Barcelona and in 2015 at the Copenhagen Photo Festival

// Horse
Photo project with found object. I was leaving home when I saw the body laying on the pavement. I picked it up. Some meters away was the head. I made several variations with the pieces. These two were selected for the Armory Show in Sydney in 2010.
