Phytophile - By Olga Yatskevich
Phytophile is a modest publication that shows how a zine can be the perfect photobook venue for a small self-contained project. It’s quirky, sexy, and decidedly offbeat, but Borsodi’s surprisingly engaging images are the result of both consistently thoughtful staging and successful collaboration with his model.

Rebus Play: a book of visual puzzles by artist Bela Borsodi - By Felix Burrichter
The photographer Bela Borsodi is based in New York, but his surrealist wit and dark sense of humor are deeply indebted to the sensibilities of his native city Vienna. For his latest project Borsodi brings his signature flare for dark and sexy composition to rebus puzzles, a style of brainteaser that dates back to at least the Middle Ages. Borsodi’s lavishly printed new book Unicorn features 40 pages full of visual puns, per say, that use equations of pictures and letters to graphically spell out words. PIN–UP called him up in his studio to provide the back story to five of the photographs from the book.

By Aiko Ishikawa
The Austrian photographer is known to breathe life into objects in his work, and says that he can hear the voices of his subjects. Though they should not be able to speak, as Borsodi puts it, “The objects complain if they don’t look good.”
