Neighbours

Exhibition by Geza Csosz in Bristol Totterdown Canteen from 17/06/2024-30/07/2024

The series originally consisted of 36 photographs, but it is constantly expanding as I capture more moments. What is shown in this exposition is a fraction of the original collection. This small photo series excerpt offers a window into the lives of my neighbours and their surroundings, giving us a glimpse into their everyday life and special occasions. Each photograph captures genuine, unstaged moments, providing an authentic portrayal of their experiences. Through these images, we are invited to observe the spontaneity and authenticity of their daily routines and celebrations, allowing us to connect with their stories on a deeper level.

Geza Csosz is a fine artist and photographer known for his evocative and intimate photographic works. His artistic style is characterized by a combination of spontaneity and precision, often featuring his family as central subjects, which imbues his works with a deep sense of love and intimacy. Csosz’s approach to photography is influenced by notable photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Josef Koudelka, but he adds his own unique perspective that often carries a touch of irony and banality.

Csosz has an extensive portfolio that includes various projects and exhibitions. His works often explore themes like modern slavery, existence, and time, and he has exhibited his art internationally, including in Spain, Egypt, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, England, and France. In addition to his photography, Csosz has also produced several films and authored books that reflect his artistic vision and thematic concerns.

One notable aspect of Csosz’s work is his project “Family World,” which presents an idyllic and poetic view of life through the lens of his family experiences. This project encapsulates a warm, playful, and human-scale world that resonates with a sense of childhood wonder and innocence, while also hinting at the underlying complexities and challenges of adult life.
