STILL MOVIES
The pictures of Zoltán Vancsó should not be written about, thought about, or associated with anything. These photographs are meditative objects. Let us stop and look at them. And let us allow the pictures to look at us. Incessantly, silently, peacefully. Let us not step into the pictures; we would only disturb their silence. Rather, let us allow their photographed quiet and calmness to affect us.
After a while our tormented minds will become tranquil; we will realize that we needn't rush, we needn’t act in flourish, think in panic, plan things out, achieve, pursue, fear, or feel anxiety. They create peace within our hearts.
Lao-tse claims that Tao cannot be said with words. But it seems as though it was possible to photograph it. Let us meditate on Zoltán’s photos, and we will soon realize that we have found our way home.

ÁLLÓFILMEK
Vancsó Zoltán képeiről nem szabad sem írni, sem gondolni, sem asszociálni semmit.
Ezek a képek meditációs objektumok. Álljunk meg előttük s nézzük őket. S hagyjuk, hogy a képek nézzenek bennünket. Hosszan, némán, nyugodtan. Ne lépjünk a képekbe, mert csak összezavarjuk csendjüket. Inkább hagyjuk, hogy hasson ránk a lefényképezett csendjük és nyugalmuk.
Egy idő után zaklatott elménk megnyugszik; rájövünk, hogy nem kell sietni, nem kell kapkodni, pánikszerűen gondolkodni, fogalmazni, teljesíteni, törekedni, félni, szorongani. Békét teremtenek a szívünkben.
A Tao-t - így szól Lao-ce - nem lehet szavakkal kimondani. Úgy látszik azonban, hogy le lehet fotózni. Meditáljunk Zoltán képein s egy idő után azt tapasztaljuk majd, hogy hazatalálunk.
(Müller Péter)

I see more of Vancso the photographer than Vansco's photographs in this book. This very individual evolving spirit will be a pleasure to witness over the coming years. Well done. All the best for a wonderful future of imagination and imagery. Joe Geoghegan.

Following in the tradition of Koudelka, Salgado snd Trent Parke, Vancso's old-school style of B&W photos bridge the gap between fine art and documentary. Some people think that this style of photography has had it's day, but traditions are born of quality, style and a vision, things that Vancso seems to have a firm grip on. Lots of good photography here, some are exceptional. Randy Kuhn www.poptophorror.com
