The Ballad of Eternal Youth
£35.00
“The Ballad of Eternal Youth” is a photo book by father and daughter duo Gábor and Wanda Martin, centered around the lives of young people in 1970s socialist Hungary and 2010s London. Not only were these photos taken 40 years and a thousand miles apart, but Wanda had no knowledge of her father’s shots when she took her own, making the similarities between the two sets of images even more striking. This project explores how, whether behind the Iron Curtain, where freedom of expression was restricted, or in the clubs and bars and flats of 21st century East London, the youthful desire to let loose, express yourself, dance and fall in love is a constant.
