My photographic work evolves into contemporary tales about the human consciousness, reflecting surrealist qualities, and playing with reality. I create narratives that are concentrated into one single frame. Adopting a deceptively childlike charm, my work transports the viewer into a feminine surrealist wonderland, a fairytale-like environment that explores the "in-between", the tension that lies both within the physical and psychological space of the female identity. Berlin bhf. Berlin bhf. (bahnhof) is a staged photography series, inspired by Hungarian authors’ Berlin experiences. The concepts are root¬ed in intimate issues of my personal life, but through which I could emphasize Berlin being a transitory state, as a habi¬tat of the passengers, the temporary home for these authors. I’m interested in the dialogue between photography and litera¬ture, though these texts are inspirational and rather give a com¬mon atmosphere for all images then illustrate one photograph. The scenes take places in different interiors of Berlin and Budapest, show feelings and relations through these moments of transitions. Through my timeless series I wanted to emphasize the common aspect of rootlessness and alienation, the per¬manent feeling of outcast and the desire of being integrated. 2014.
