Gábor
Rural Explorer
Gábor began his expedition in 2009 which slowly converted into a personal mission to photographically document and record the stories of the people he meets along his path. This is a memoir of a long term project that shares the acts of random kindness while sharing an aspect of humanity through personal stories of people in their environments. He is currently wandering around the remotest parts of China. Trying to understand the struggles and hardships that majority of the world undertakes on a day to day basis PEOPLEIMEET is to act as a mirror, or an exchange of culture, where a viewer can look at the face that shares a story of love, kindness, bravery, isolation or even unimportant facts. The project promotes an online world without borders in hopes to share cultures, promote overall tolerance and unite the world as one.
