Hunor Tóth is a FUTURES talent

The Capa Center selected five young photographers, who can represent the Hungarian photography and the Capa Center in the FUTURES – European Photography Platform in 2025. Congratulations!

Co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, Futures is a platform focused on amplifying emerging talents in photography in Europe. The FUTURES Photography Platform has been granted Creative Europe funding to extend its programme until 2028. In the coming years, FUTURES will launch and promote a plurality of activities aimed at driving innovation, inclusivity and sustainability. – Capa Center

Disintegrating communities, redefined rural landscape, memories, family, faith, and uncertainty. The contemporary village image diverges from the stereotypes of impoverished, elderly laborers or an idealized countryside; instead, it embodies internal conflicts, an uncertain future, and a reality unrecognizable to outsiders' perception. Within rural families, previous generations instinctively passed on not only agricultural and farming knowledge, but also community values, village life, and local culture. Today, this hereditary process is completely questionable and subversive. My generation is the first to occupy a decisive place in the outcome of this changing hereditary process. Current visual research explores the intergenerational dynamics in this period, focusing on the youth in order to explore the notion of village, village identity and home. – Hunor Tóth
