Photobook on resourcefulness in the smallest Hungarian villages
Dániel Halász: For several years, I have been returning to the smallest villages of Hungary, places with fewer than 100 inhabitants. I have been to more than 80 of them, paying attention to repairs, improvised systems, and the everyday ways people make things work. I spent long periods in my grandparents' village as a child, and that connection still shapes how I see these places. Falu ("village" in Hungarian) brings together 72 photographs with fragments of text, statistical data, conversations, memories, and literary excerpts. A loose inlay booklet adds further context and a map of the villages I visited. The book was designed with Flóra Pálhegyi.
What interests me here is not nostalgia. It is the practical resourcefulness visible in these communities, in how people repair, reuse, and improvise when there is not much to work with.
