Zsuzsa Darab

ungarian visual artist Zsuzsa Darab considers the role of a photographer to be synonymous with that of a psychologist. To create work she must go into the depths of her own mind, using photography as her private practice where she is the doctor, the patient and the cure. Her work is a mix of documentary and staged portraiture. Often highly personal, her photographs feature her own family, groups of siblings, friends and inspiring women in

both natural and conceptual settings. She is an observer, interested in human relationships and the connections between them. Darab studied for her Master’s degree in photography at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest. She is currently based in Iceland. zsuzsadarab.com db.zsuzzs@gmail.com

Inside Artists - Issue 9

Inside Artists

For many artists the purpose of their practice is to explore the human condition and the seemingly infinite questions of existence that may plague us through our lifetime. To be able to convey these ideas visually is a gift to the viewer; offering a space to reflect on our connections with those around us and our environment. The intricate mechanical structures created by cover artist Mark von Rosentiel perform repetitive motions which project familiar social traits back to the viewer. We interviewed him about his work for this issue, and how removing a human presence allows us to each consider our own personal place within the sphere of life. For other artists featured in this issue, it is human relationships which pin us together. Themes of language, family, love and physicality and experiences are all explored through their own individual visions.
