“I am not looking to spoon-feed people the answers” – Domonkos Varga’s portfolio
Date: 2022.04.25
Domonkos Varga (winner of the the Stefan Lengyel Excelence Scholarship 2022) used to focus almost exclusively on documentary photography, but he soon realised he wanted to find his own voice, along with a style with which he could fully identify.
He completed his first personal project, Res Materialis, as a second-year student, and the series – in addition to earning positive feedback – completely changed the visual character of his works. Since then, his projects have been based on the deconstruction of various social phenomena and ideologies. He makes no secret of the fact that his goal is to raise awareness about today’s major issues through his metaphorical images.
