WHAT REMAINS IN THE END by Zsolt Balazs (signed)

www.anzenbergergallery-bookshop.com

The photography of Zsolt Balázs has always explored the perseverance in human nature, often in relation to water. In his first photobook What Remains in the End he concentrates on how the agricultural communities of once highly productive lands struggle for perseverance in the face of drying out and subsequent desertification. The book uses the Great Hungarian Plain as a case study, which makes up roughly half of Hungary’s territory. This process could lead to the complete collapse of agriculture in the region within a few years unless irrigation canal systems are constructed. State and EU funding for such infrastructure has been allocated several times, but instead of being used for professional interventions, it has largely disappeared due to corruption.

„Zsolt Balázs‘ series attempts to build a complex testament from photos taken in split seconds. Concentrated attention bits saved into photographs that depict a long process that can be measured in human generations. The series captures a time period, glimpses of landscapes, faces, situations, and through this, the changes in our natural environment, human destinies and community struggles. It is objective reporting and lyrical confession at the same time.“
István Virágvölgyi, artistic director, Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center

SUMMER CAMP by Mark Steinmetz

www.anzenbergergallery-bookshop.com

Our newest monograph on the work of photographer Mark Steinmetz is a collection of photographs that capture the spirit of youth during trips spent away at a summer camp.

„Two projects I focused on were little league baseball [The Players published by Nazraeli Press in 2015] and summer camps. Every year, from spring into summer, one would lead into another and certain things never changed…At summer camp, you have sleeping bags, cabins and camp res. There isn’t much difference between them in 1990 or 1965.

I like that time of age, too. There’s a kind of grave maturity developing at around 11 years old. When a little kid laughs or cries, it doesn’t have real resonance, whereas if someone has these emotions between eight and 12, there’s a poignancy to it.

When they become adults, it’s just not the same. Many of these photos are about the predicament of being a kid put into a certain situation. In one picture, these girls who have been so horrible to each other all summer are now parting – and the depth of their love just gushes out. It’s almost excruciating...“ — Mark Steinmetz, for Huck Mag
