Dad’s walks by Ákos Major

The images were taken in and around Paks (Hungary), at locations that recall childhood memories, and which remain to play a significant role in Ákos Major’s personal life as well. He makes sure not to aestheticize the landscape: an outside, a lay observer should not perceive more than a once lively industrial environment that somehow exudes senses of peacefulness and melancholy. The anthropomorphic houses and the dried flowers which were collected on long walks evoke childlike perspectives and games, but also the image of a floodplain that occasionally even adults enjoy wading across or wallowing in.
