Nocturne

This is a project about home. In the autumn of 2014 I switched my flat and my life with a Belgian boy, thanks to some accidental circumstances. The five months I spent in Antwerp has changed my life. I found myself in the company of my new friends who accepted me very fast. I could hardly admit that I did not feel homesick at all. The feeling of being at home made no difference in Belgium or Hungary. I transcended my comfort zone and felt happy, free and independent which was combined with solitude - which is not necessarily a negative thing. After five months I had to leave this life behind and return to Hungary. Finally, I tried to process this subsequent split in my mind through working on a portfolio which became a collection of photographs of exchangeable, temporary and uncertain places and moments documenting my life in Belgium. The aim of the process was to create a distance with my own past which then enabled me to find my real way home. For now I perceive these pictures as scenes of a movie that were although part of my life but have already got far from me.
