Anna Forgách completed her studies at MOME Budapest in Design and Art Theory (BA/BSc, 2019) and Media Design (MA/MSc, 2022). She currently lives and works as a photographer in Berlin. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions, including at SYAA Gallery and KULT7 Gallery (Budapest), the Vasarely Museum (Pécs), the Fondation Vasarely (Aix-en-Provence), the Kiscelli Museum (Budapest), Zönotéka (Berlin) and the Ipfa Gallery (Barcelona).
Her practice focuses on human stories and lived experience, with a particular emphasis on women‘s narratives. Her approach is informed by logotherapy and existential analysis developed by Viktor Frankl, and often takes shape through a self-exploration framework.
