About
Franciska Legát (1997, Bundapest, Hungary) is a Budapest based photographer. In 2024, she graduated at the Moholy-Nagy University of Arts from Master of Photography. She spent a semester in Germany at the HSBI Bielefeld and in the Netherlands at HKU, Utrecht. As an artist, she is primarily concerned with social issues that have a significant impact on her life. Absurdity and a kind of peculiar black humor play an important role in her works. Her photos are mostly staged, but by using an unusual documentary approach, her purpose is to blur the line between fiction and reality.
