Tamas Dezso

Tree and House (West Hungary), 2011

In Here, Anywhere, Tamas Dezso documents today’s Hungary, exploring the areas which have seemingly been left behind since the country’s political transformation some 20 year’s ago, coming after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Dezso describes these areas as “capsules of time”, abandoned to linger in an awkward and, “longed-to-be-forgotten Eastern-Europeanness”. Dezso depicts the inhabitants of these areas, whom have been unable to integrate fully into majority society. His intentions are not to simply record a trace of their existence, as they fade into a forgotten history, but to capture the atmosphere and “essence of these worlds”. 

The work raises concerns about Hungary’s current situation in a calm, beautiful and sympathetic manner.
