You Have to Be Here to Believe
The culture of our nation , which we are born in, is a major part of our cultural identity, although this isn't a point of view we come to earth with. This identity is the product of the visual representation we are shown from an early age. The introduction of Hungary, showing life both at the capital, and in the countryside also the documentation of the general Hungarian mental state are the aims of my diploma project. I show an overview of Hungary that differs from the visual possibilities that I research in my main thesis. The main conflict of the photographs and the general idealized pictures we own about the subject, is how much they differ. This dissonance is always present when reality is interpreted subjectively, when the visual resemblance and the discovery is separate. We can only understand a country/ culture to its fullest, if we try to avoid idealization, and visit not only touristic attractions.
