Many times, we feel like objects of certain cultural codes that are based on our origins and that we never asked for. To reconsider the approach to our birthplace without feeling stigmatized and patriotic, Kincső Bede offers a photobook. She grew up in the Hungarian Székely minority of Transylvania, Romania and until now, in her rigorous photographic style, she always dealt with her very own family stories, the socialist heritage of a bygone era and traditional Székely motifs in order to find her place in the world. Intimate photography is a key tool in her process of identification, which allows us to experience the liveliness in her pictures. Her “mini-series”, that apply the visual contrast of the aesthetics of fashion photography and the rural environment, will scatter throughout different parts of the book and thus invite us to complete them with each other.
