DAS FANNI Collab / Launch Event and Pop-up Exhibition
This is what it was like a week ago at the Das Fanni Kimono atelier with Míra Anna Finta and Borbála Ilona Szikora. I loved the atmosphere we created, I hope you did too. It was a great experience to see the interest in the kimonos that were born from our collaborative project, and I’m very grateful for your interest in my work on the walls too. I presented one of my projects in installation form for the first time, so these conversations and your feedback were especially important to me.
Fanni’s studio is an inspiring little haven for this kind of experimentation, and I’m thankful I could inhabit it with my personal stories for a few days. My favorite comment of the evening came from my friend Réka Kóti: “You guys really created a safe space.”
DAS FANNI KIMONO X KATALIN SZÁRAZ COLLAB
Tonight, a showroom, exhibition, performance, and a toast await you at 5 Klauzál Square. Come and immerse yourselves with us in this project, which began a few months ago in Paris ⋆.˚ ☾⭒.˚
We’re looking forward to seeing you, together with Das Fanni Kimono and Míra Anna Finta ˙⋆✮
This is also the first time I’m presenting my long-evolving personal project, La fille du marin, in an installation format. It is closely connected to the collaboration - if you come, you’ll see how ⋆.˚
Budapest Photo Festival / CROSSROADS/ KULT7 Galéria
Happy moments from my first vernissage at the Budapest Photo Festival this year. It was a pleasure to share the story of my installation with so many new people. As the years go by, the meaning of this work feels even more relevant and deeper. You can still visit it until April 18 at KULT7 Galéria ⋆.˚ ☾ .⭒˚
P.S: You can discover on the photo a little sneak peek from our collab with Das Fanni Kimono, I will share more of our event too.

Analog Sparks Finissage
I don’t feel like writing a big year summary of 2025, so I’ll just leave one of my favourite moments from the end of December here, hoping it will attract even more moments like this in 2026.
I was talking about my project "Rencontres" at the finissage of our group exhibition for the Analog Sparks Film Photography Awards at House of Lucie Budapest.
I still can’t highlight enough how important these occasions are, and the conversations they bring afterward. This project connects me with people not only during the sessions themselves, but also through these events. Your questions and enthusiasm during these discussions are always fuel to keep me going. I’m also always happy to be present in Hungary with my work. So yes, I hope this year will bring many more occasions like this.

Capa Center/Memories
Yesterday marked 12 years since the Capa Center opened its doors in Budapest, and I was given one of the best locations for this installation, which has been resurfacing here and there ever since, and I hope it will continue to do so.
Analog Sparks 2025 / Best of Show Opening
This Thursday, the Analog Sparks Best of exhibition opens at House of Lucie Budapest, where I’m showing my long-term project about foreign women living in Paris, which I’ve been working on since 2016. If you’re in the city, come say hi!
Analog Sparks International Film Photography Awards
I’m happy to share that my series received a Silver at the Analog Sparks Film Photography Awards
This ongoing project started as a way to connect while living abroad. Since 2016, I’ve been photographing foreign women in Paris in their homes - women who, like me, are finding their way in a place far from home. It is a slow project that keeps growing with time, and I’m truly grateful to every woman who has shared her story with me.
You can see more about the series on the Analog Sparks site here.
Brody House Exhibition

You can find the link in the comments - and don’t miss the work of my dear friend Maria Siorba, also featured in the selection ♡✶⋆
Fisheye Magazine article of my project
I think, no one has ever written such a perceptive and expressive article about my work before. Thank you so much, Lou Tsatsas.
This means a lot to me, as I've been working on this personal project for years, it's still in progress, and it's the first time it's being published. Fisheye Magazine is one of my main sources for contemporary photography, so seeing my pictures on their site is a true honor.
Our exhibition with Maria Siorba has opened, extended until July 28!
Since the opening Maria is preparing for Athens Photo Festival in Athens, and I have been to Paris and back, but in spirit, we are still here ☾ ⋆.˚.⭒✩
The exhibition is extended, and you can see it untul July 27, if you want to visit drop me an email to katalinszaraz@outlook.com!
ARE WE THERE YET? HOW MUCH LEFT FOR LANDING? // Collaborative exhibition with Maria Siorba
We warmly invite all of you to our joint collaborative exhibition with my friend and colleague, Maria Siorba. Since we met in 2017, our shared wavelength was obvious, and after many conversations and extensive planning, you can now be part of our first collaboration here in Hungary. This exhibition emerged from the cohesion of two independently yet almost simultaneously developing projects, in communication with each other. It is a particular joy for me that Foton Galéria can be a playground for realizing an idea I have cherished since 2018, and I have been able to harmonize all of this with Maria's beautiful pictures.
Come and celebrate with us on the 29th of Wednesday, from 7 PM onwards!
Fotó Falu Exhibition at Fuga
Today is the opening of the exhibition at Fuga - Budapesti Építészeti Központ what celebrates the first 15 years FotóFalu and I am really happy that I have been the part of this already at the first 5 years, and also now at this exhibition.
I recommend to every photography lover to visit not only this exhibition, but the photography camp itself, to experience the dream of Balázs Telek .
Contemporary Hungarian Photography
You can see two of my projects exhibited at the "Contemporary Hungarian Photography" exhibition, the common show of The Association of Hungarian Photographers and The Studio of Young Photographers28th of April at Pécsi Galériák!
Thank you for the curator Iza Nagy for setting up my installation, this was the first time when this work had to travel without my presence, so I was really excited about it.
