profile

Szalai Eszter is a Hungarian photographer. The starting point of her projects is mainly the study of the probability of human existence and the antithesis of this proposition. She is interested in the issue of human interventions in the environment and about the issue of exclusion. Her works closely linked with the impact of man on nature and our environment. It is very important for her to report and communicate the message as accurately as possible to the target audience. She wants to depict the imprints of human life and the clearest possible representation of the experiences. Her conceptualist series deals with the dilemmas of modern life, most often in a direct way. Static can be considered a defining motif in the case of site representation, where people do not appear often.
