Attila Hupján – Try it differently
2018.03.12 – 03.30.
Opening hours: Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 15.00-19.00

The photographer Attila Hupjan first started making photos using a camera obscura as a result of an innocent workshopexercise; afterwards he became a part of this world: “I have become a camera obscura photographer. And after years ofpracticing, I truly became one. It has become my world, despite all attempts to persuade me to abandon it. Not out ofstubbornness, but out of the pursuit of pleasure. It allows me to depict the world using the simplest of tools. I tried otherways, and yet this is the right one for me. The photographs exhibited in Artphoto Gallery are conceived in the triangle of time, space, and shape – the coreprinciples of camera obscura – and are only supposed to show what the viewer can see from them. For some it mightshow the moment, and maybe, for some, it might show the whole journey.

Melinda Kovács solo exhibition
2018.04.04. – 04.27.
Opening Hours: Monday – Friday 10.00-18.00

The keys to Melinda Kovács’s pictures are the colors and the composition. Her photographs were born from the marriage of constructed reality and the aftereffects of coloring. One of her means to exploit the genre is to construct the whole environment on her pictures. Modeling and photography creates a new world: a carefully planned, but still real reality.

Deim Balázs / Space
2018.03.08. – 03.30.
Opening Hours: Monday – Friday 10.00-18.00

This exhibition combines the notion of “játék” (meaning: playing, game, toy) with the phenomena of longing for far away places and nostalgia. The photo series activates multiple interpretative layers of the concept, ranging from the act of playing with toys to the realm of the child with playing at its epicentre. The concept is also related to the creative process, the essence of which is imagination, and so it is intertwined with the artistic process based on experimentation – an integral part of this project.

David Pujado: Biedma – Poems: from ink to light

2018.03.08-05.16.

Opening Hours: Monday – Friday 10.00-18.00

The exhibition was inspired by the Spanish poet Jaime Gil de Biedma. David Pujado about his artwork: “This project was born one day, one afternoon, when I felt the need to say many things in very few words… (thank you, I told you that you were my inspiration), so I followed Montse Ordoñez’ idea and let myself go. The result was not more than to photograph one of the poems exposed here, and was finally, the embryo of all of this.”

The Hungaian photographer Ata Kando is one of the most outstanding photographers on the field of portrait, ethnographic photography and fashion photography. Now the exhibition in Deák17 Gallery provides an insight into her artworks. The pieces of Ata Kandó are interesting not only because of their mesmerizing composition, but also because of the context in which she made them. Ata made many of the artworks together with her children when they were on a family holiday. Thus the work method is interesting from a pedagogical point of view too because the child and the parent were equal partners in the creation process of the photos.

Budapest’s landscape is determined by its emlematic buildings. However, if we look further than what we see on the postcards, there is the scenery of everyday life, that we tend to ignore in our everyday rush. Our eyes got used to the environment and the ”decoration” of our everyday life. The spaces, lights, forms and moments of the streets of Budapest are represented by 6 different viewpoints of 6 different photographers.

Border Area / 2015 – 2017
Syrian and Afghani and Pakistani refugees streaming into Europe since 2015 have roiled politics and inflamed debate. But Europe’s newest arrivals are just the latest of many waves of immigrants since World War II, when Europe became home to a third of the world’s immigrants and now the continent has foreign – born populations comparable to that of the United States. Zoltán Molnár travelled through Eastern Europe to tell the stories of the ‘Border Area’ – between Hungary and Serbia, between Austria and Slovenia, between Hungary and Croatia and other places such as in an abandoned customs warehouse in Belgrade and on the street in Budapest.

The topic if the exhibition is the connection between intuitive and acquired knowledge about the elements of our surroundings. Tradition and mutation, and the time, history that constantly rewrites them. It is an exhibition of pre-designed photo elements, expropriation and intermediality.

2018. 03. 28. – 04. 27.
.Opening hours: Monday –Thursday 10.00-18.00; Friday 10.00-15.00
The town of Bor exists and develops due to the RTB Bor copper mine which is one of the largest in Europe. It was an important resource at the time of Tito’s Yugoslavia and today it is at the centre of the Government’s attention because of the low price of copper, which prevents it from actively managing the property and paying off the public debt. The town proper was founded in 1945 and little can be said about its history except that there was a Nazi internment and labour camp in its hinterland. On May 20, 1944, the Hungarian poet Miklós Radnóti was deported and locked up in the Heidenau camp. He was shot on the nape together with twenty-one of his physically and psychically broken companions on 4 November 1944 at the outskirts of Abda, near to the city of Győr. The news got around among local people, and on their report the mass grave was opened at the end of June 1946. During the exhumation several documents as well as a 14,5×10 cm large notebook with thirty leaves were found in the clothes of Radnóti.

Country, city, famous man. The poet, János Arany and the art of photography
2018. 03. 20 – 05. 27.
Opening Hours: Tuesday – Sunday 10:00-18:00.
The title of the exhibition refers to a popular game where answers must be given starting with the same letter. The exhibition assumes the point of view of one person, poet János Arany, who was born 200 years ago, in exploring the photography customs of the late 19th century and showcase photographs taken of Arany, his family and his environment, some of which have never been on display before. Arany was barely past 20 when the invention of photography was publicized. During his life, he was photographed by professionals only four times, and yet his life’s work gives us numerous links to the precursors and the contemporary practice of this new imaging technology. The emblematic photo of the Arany family was taken by Antal Országh, an unfairly forgotten lensman, whose oeuvre is also commemorated by the exhibition.

Opening hours: Wednesday – Friday: 14:00-18:00, Saturday: 11.00-15.00
I am but an explorer in the realms of the invisible. In silent wonderment, I strive to understand and capture the invisible phenomena, its whereabouts, and events -past and/or future- that moulds our world. Attentive to the message within the obvious (everything that surrounds us), I look for their portals to sneak in. For the obvious are just fingers that point towards the various invisible planes. I am but a seeker of those higher realms where answers for the heart await. Lili(ana) © 2017

2017.03.22 – 04.21.
Opening hours: Wednesday – Friday: 14:00-18:00, Saturday: 11.00-15.00
This ongoing body of work consists of staged landscapes made of collaged and montaged colour negatives shot across different locations that include Israel, Venezuela, the UK and USA. Initially taken as mere keepsakes, landscapes are merged and transformed through the act of slicing and splicing. The resulting photographs are a conflation, ‘real’ yet virtual and imaginary. This conflation aims to transform a specific place – initially loaded with personal meaning, memories and connotations – into a space that has been emptied of subjectivity and becomes universal.

Opening hours: Tuesday – Friday 13.00-18.00, Saturday: 11.00-17.00
The images of Miklos GAÁL made with analogue technique allow for variation in the depth of focus within a single photograph. It is not the image, that we see, but the act of seeing that corresponds to the relationship of each idea to reality he methodically brings to consciousness in his works. GAÁL’s completely new perspective directs the attention toward the process of the spectator’s perception of reality — which is the true reference point of his work.
