I can clearly remember from my childhood that even the storey with empty, „haunted” rooms in our family house was full of life in summer, even though it was a rather creepy place all year round (at least for a little girl).

What happens with all those coastal holiday homes at Lake Balaton during the course of the year that holiday-makers fill with buzz and joy every summertime? How does the atmosphere of these spaces alter once autumn comes? In what ways do we endeavor to preserve the memories and moments of summer in order to be able to recall them whenever we need to? In my series, which was inspired by childhood memories, I am seeking to respond to these questions. I have chosen a summer house in Siófok as location, which embodies the interior design of the ’70s and ’80s Hungary and hereby transmits the peculiar mix of nostalgia, melancholy and the passing of time. In the first chapter of my series this is provided by a lady, Terike and her summer house. [Official Website]
