We are Laszlo Vass & Laszlo Svajer, a couple who share the same first name, and a passion for street photography.
We moved to Brussels in May 2023 and started exploring the city through photo walks. This is a natural and inspiring way for us to get to know new places. Sometimes on our own, sometimes together. During this period of almost two years we endeavored to create a unique body of work capturing the essence of what Brussels has come to mean to us.
For this exhibition we selected 10 pairs of photographs taken at the same locations or depicting similar themes.
We invite you to play a game of discovery. The paired images are not displayed side by side - or are they? We challenge you to find them! Each pair shares a common element: a place, event, or motif. Scan the QR codes next to the photos to uncover more information about each image.
Enjoy the challenge and explore the city through our lenses.

Laszlo Svajer I love everyday human moments, the little micro-events observable on the street. I often feel like I'm in a theater when I'm on the street. I love that in street photography, it's not necessarily reality that matters, but rather I'm watching my own performance. Instead of the classically aesthetic or currently trendy visual world, I'm looking for what makes a photo exciting for me. In these cases, I specifically strive to break down the idea of a beautiful image in my head and replace visual aesthetics with something else that represents content for me.
Laszlo Vass I often say that I photograph simply because I can’t not do it. I enjoy finding unusual or humorous scenes in which we can recognize ourselves, which can come together to form new, personal stories, and where the reality portrayed becomes interchangeable and permeable with a different, imagined reality.
