Margaret Island

Norbert Hartyányi chose the capital’s “Garden of Eden” as the subject of his series. Otherwise known for observing small communities and for his anthropocentrism, the photographer now guides us through a utopian Margaret Island. Usually reminiscent of a crowded playground in the summer, the park is transformed by him into an immaculate picturesque paradise or enchanted garden – this is how the lens of his camera transforms the almost three kilometres long public park into an all but private court.

Hartyányi began his series Margaret Island this year, supported by the Budapest Photography Grant.
