Hungarian journalist Tamas dezso he is fond of documentary photography, over the years of travels to the countries of Eastern Europe, he had the idea to create a series of works on which he would be able to capture disappearing settlements. The photographer was most interested in Romanian villagesFor more than three years now, he has been collecting a photo report on how they live in the outback in a post-communist country.
The name of the photo cycle about life in Romania speaks for itself - “Notes for an Epilogue”, which literally means “Notes to the Epilogue”. The fact that villages are literally dying out is beyond doubt: poverty, desolation, devastation - that's all that can be seen in the pictures. The gloom that reigns everywhere is in disharmony with the beauty of nature and its grandeur.
The main problem of these villages is unemployment, people have not to live, but to survive, since the production facilities are closed, there are no enterprises left. Tamas Dezso tells about what she saw: “Village houses and factories are being destroyed, villages are becoming deserted, this process is so fast that you need to have time to fix what is still there. The current era is of a transitional nature, and my goal is to show the world what can disappear without a trace very soon."
As part of an ongoing photography project, Tamas Dezso has traveled to Romania more than thirty times to meet the people who live there, to learn more about this land. Before the eyes of the photographer, constant irreversible changes are taking place, and what he saw on one business trip may collapse by his next visit. The collected photographs were the impetus for the creation of a book about Romanian life, on which the writer Eszter Szablyar is currently working with Tamas Dezso. It is planned that the publication will be published this year.
