Born in Hungary in the early '90s, Bence Bakonyi is now proving to the world that he has already a voice of his own in the contemporary photographic field. The sweetness and the villainess meet halfway in his work, creating a present tense of its own. It’s a frozen and clean second of the (un)known, that mixes aesthetics with philosophy, the past and the future. Human beings are at the same time summoned and avoided, presenting to us a work that navigates in our surroundings and in faraway lands, where the verbs “to leave” and “to stay” are never that simple.
