{"product_id":"9786150259826","title":"What Remains in the End","description":"The photography of Zsolt Balázs has always explored the perseverance in human nature, often in relation to water. In his first photobook What Remains in the End he concentrates on how the agricultural communities of once highly productive lands struggle for perseverance in the face of drying out and subsequent desertification. The book uses the Great Hungarian Plain as a case study, which makes up roughly half of Hungary’s territory. This process could lead to the complete collapse of agriculture in the region within a few years unless irrigation canal systems are constructed. State and EU funding for such infrastructure has been allocated several times, but instead of being used for professional interventions, it has largely disappeared due to corruption.\n\n\"Zsolt Balázs' series attempts to build a complex testament from photos taken in split seconds. Concentrated attention bits saved into photographs that depict a long process that can be measured in human generations. The series captures a time period, glimpses of landscapes, faces, situations, and through this, the changes in our natural environment, human destinies and community struggles. It is objective reporting and lyrical confession at the same time.\"\nIstván Virágvölgyi, artistic director, Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center","brand":"HECTIC BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52892862611765,"sku":"9786150259826","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/9023\/3653\/files\/bc8c5bd8-9bb2-450d-92a3-86b9584bb13e.png?v=1778942709","url":"https:\/\/librairiesanstitre.com\/products\/9786150259826","provider":"librairie sans titre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
