Often provocative and humorous, Gergely Szatmári’s newest series explores the dazzling scenery of “new Seoul”. His vibrant photographs show us this monumental and rapidly changing city, where the beautiful but somewhat bizarre existence of people on Earth becomes undeniably apparent. Szatmári catches an ambiguous aura of immediacy and intimacy in a metropolitan city of extensive – and sometimes burdensome – progress, where people act, react, connect and change quickly. His charters are curious and proud, cool, open and kind, but also relaxed and casual at the same time, while showing their real personalities.
