what made that time unique was a capacity of artists to engage with a cosmic quest, a spiritual quest to find meaning.

Staged Photography

By Emese Krunak-Hajagos

She had a portrait studio from the 1950th for 40 years in Budapest. Through her work staged photography filled my life and as a passionate reader I always connected stories to the photographs.
