I have the honour to announce that my latest photographic endeavour, the so-called Pulli Projekt has been selected to be displayed in a Hungarian photographic biennale.
The project statement is as follows:
The moment of taking off one's pullover, when the human face is just a print in the fabric and the torso displayed reveals the reality of the body otherwise covered, carries an inherent paradoxon. The series shows people of different ages, genders, shapes and states in the instant of parallel anonymisation and revelation.
The second in question makes a standstill in the course of everyday human activities: pulling the shirt over one's head transforms the body into a momentary statue. The stomach, the chest and the armpits become visible in their full vulnerability (this being further intensified by blocking the face - carrier of the main senses - and putting a shackle on the operative arms), while an odd-coloured sail unravels from the neck.
The beholder is given this sight by a series of instinctive yet also learned movements stemming from the anatomical features of the human body and a pursuit of effectivity. The identical lighting and background creates the "experiment environment" necessary to highlight the differences within the similarities.
As I don't want to release the whole project before the exhibition (and I don't want to flood my gallery with 15 similar images), I will shortly upload just a couple of representative excerpts from the series.

Tumbl[r]ing down the Rabbit Hole.
"Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice 'without pictures or conversation?'"
After several months of procrastinating, I decided to give in and set up a Tumblr account.
It is very fashionable and it is certainly easier to take care of it than of a fancy website!
"'Well!' thought Alice to herself, 'after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they'll all think me at home! Why, I w
Six Reasons.
Several elements call for a new journal entry.
item 1: more than 7 months have elapsed since the last one, and I will probably be in no position to write another one for a long time [but I can weave the chain of flight coupons further! look here: LTN-SKP-ZRH-IST].
item 2: my personal life has changed significantly since the last one [though there will be no public update about this, désolé]
item 3: this has been requested on several occasions by someone [and even set as a condition for something I am truly looking forward to]
item 4: I got a Daily Deviation http://fav.me/do9mtr and this is the place and time to show thankfulness

I feel like some kind of a Gregory Griggs paraphrase when I look back upon this year:
"He travelled East / he travelled West / But he could never tell / Which he liked best." :)
2009 has been my most eventful year so far in terms of journeys, voyages, excursions, business trips, adventures, official visits and all that jazz.
If a chain (or necklace) were to be woven from all my boarding passes from this year (or suitcase slips, though I try to avoid checking in baggage), it would look like this:
BUD-VIE-BXL-KIV-GVA-BEG-CDG-CFU-DEL-TSF-MEX-CUN
[naturally, "BUD", "VIE" and "BXL" recurring several times in the line; and it wasn't up to me t

When you reach this certain age, you start to wonder how many promises have actually come true out of those that formed the bouquet of expectations ten years earlier, when you were referred to as "a promising young man".
Also, in the same vein, one is somewhat obliged to see how many compromises one has made in life and whether these were really worth it.
If someone is dissatisfied at 30, they say something has to be changed. But if someone has everything at 30, many literary/cinematographic works suggest that this virtual perfection inevitably results in a feeling of hollowness and that something might be missing.
Now despite all my appar
