Journalism & Collage
Since 2000 / 2015
Based: Budapest
"For someone it’s about sex and someone else thinks it’s about faith. Both are true. The meaning varies depending on the person who looks at the collage, how receptive they are. They have more meaning than it shows first, layers like an onion that you can peel off."
:: worked as a journalist for 15 years based in Budapest and Central/Eastern Europe
:: beside writing started to make collages. collages were part of the article and added value to the story
:: later on realized that sometimes collages are more complex, more expressive, more soulful than words or sentences
:: collage became a really important part of the life: illustrations, design, exhibition, festivals, workshops, and other eye-candy-things
