Whistling of juvenile winds– Kányádi image fantasies
2019. 03. 08 – 04. 28.
Opening Hours: Tuesday – Sunday 10:00-18:00.
This exhibition is a unique venture of Budapest Photo Festival in the Petőfi Literary Museum. Sándor Kányádi was a great Hungarian poet who passed away in 2018. We selected a few of his outstanding poems and asked photographers (Gábor Fiala, Péter Herendi and Emőke Kerekes) to compile a photographic series based on their lyrics. The resulting exhibition if not only a modern take on Sándor Kányádi’s poetic world, but an exclusive opportunity for contemporary Hungarian photography.
The authors represent diverse genres in the local photographic scene. They created much more than mere illustrations, they infused their own artistic methods and approaches to this special project.

Opening hours: Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 15.00-19.00
A The art collector Lajos Barabas purchased the 6×6 Mamiya C330 traditional film camera from the heritage of Gabor Kerekes – the artist passed away nearly five years ago. Barabas meant the purchase as a gesture to celebrate the work of the acclaimed photographer. The purchase of the camera also meant the beginning of a project aimed at continuing the photographic legacy of Gabor Kerekes. The point of this project is to give the camera to fellow artists, allowing them to use and work with it, and create art with this object that has soaked in the unique artistic personality of its former owner. Through this project, and through the artists involved (for example Zsolt Peter Barca, Tamas Opitz, Peter Timar, and Aniko Robitz) a sort of metaphysical dialogue occurs between the users of the camera, both current and past. In this exhibition, we showcase photography from both the current users and past users of Gabor Kerekes’ camera. The deceased artists works are provided to us by the KG Archives. These photographs have never been published before – their inaugural publication occurs at this exhibition.

Opening hours: Monday-Friday: 09.00 – 16.00
The Austrian artists and photographers honey & bunny //Sonja Stummerer & Martin Hablesreiter//, Ulrike Köb and Akos Neuberger arrange food in a revolutionary way. Like designers, they choose objects by shape and colour instead of smell and taste. Their ideas influenced contemporary food photography in an enormous way. They also tell stories by using food. In the framework of their project for the Gwangju Biennale in Korea and the book „EAT DESIGN“, honey & bunny started to pose in various eating situations. Their current projects focus on clean and sustainable eating. The group exhibition at the Austrian Cultural Forum will show some new photographs as well as artworks which have already been presented at museums/exhibitions around the world.

Opening Hours: Monday – Friday 10.00-18.00
Countless old photograph pile in our private archives: documents, memories, feelings, important or unremarkable moments’ souvenirs that seem to cumulate endlessly like in a bottomless chest. Layers and layers crust in a thunderous speed on past minutes, days, months and years extinguishing their real or supposed significance.
In the latest works of Lajos Csontó, he returned to his own photo archive to save the ‘lost’ pieces and add them currently valid layers, overwriting and rewriting their original content and pursuing his series ( Duplicated images 2014, Selection, 2009) dealing with the issues of archives.

The series of Ábel Krulik are known for their subjective, yet suggestive atmosphere. In the last years, he’s been using photography as a personal chronicle, an instrument to quit present time. His journey is shaped by his constant need to roam and witness moments as they pass away. When circumstances turn uncertain on the way, he looks through the finder and focuses with his camera. His images help him to relive those forgotten realities that he had borrowed from the existence.

Cristina de Middel and Bruno Morais EXCESSOCENUS
2019.04.11. – 06.30.
Opening hours: Monday – Friday 10.00-19.00
Geologists announced that the planet entered a new era called Anthropocene, induced by the industrialized nations and their elites to transform the industry and the action of man in the new engine that defines the dynamics of the planet. The reality is that underdeveloped countries blindly embraced the pattern of abusive and uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources and excessive consumption of manufactured goods despite their evident failure. With the strength and vigor of novelty, these countries adopted the mistakes of others and became a thriving market for obsolete and highly toxic technologies without any plan for the after “party”.
With this horizon we decided to address the issues and challenges that affect the most exposed and least prepared territories for the consequences of this Excessocene. We decided to visualize the effects of the macro-economy in the African micro-routines focusing on the daily domestic gestures. We use photography to reflect as much on environmental issues as to reflect the problems related to the visual representation of the African continent. Excessocenus received the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016 and it was developed in collaboration between Bruno Morais and Cristina de Middel.

In the second half of the 19th century, members of the nobility and non did not wear costumes only at Carnival festivities. They did so at other times as well. Historical figures, characters from famous plays, and imaginary figures used to come to life beside traditional Carnival masks. They showed up at presentations of historical tableaux vivants, private gatherings, or children’s parties. Sometimes, these fashionable masquerade festivities had political meaning, or they served charitable means, or were simply events for amusement. We collected a sample of the photographs of the National Photo Archive, showing known characters wearing costumes, with an outlook on the 20th century as well.

2019. 03. 04 – 03.23.
Opening hours: Monday – Friday 15.00 – 20.00
From 2011 to 2014 I have been working on a long-term project on Christian communities in the Middle East. Over recent years, there has been a dramatic drop of Christian presence in those places where the first Christian communities were born two thousand years ago. About 5% of the population in the Middle East is Christian, and in the twentieth century this number was further reduced due to various reasons, including the growing instability of the region. The project aims
to investigate what remains in those places, sacred to Christians, but also for other religions of the Book, after years of emigration and divisions within the Church itself. Inshallah, is a term used in the Islamic world, but it is also common in the Arab Christian communities of the Middle East. Inshallah means God willing.

Opening hours: Tuesday – Friday: 14.00 – 18.00
Our nature and culture are accompanied by myths about animals, our fears and our interdependence shape our consciousness. The motif of the fauna is present in the cultural history all the time. It appears in objectified, symbolic or decorative patterns in the arts and crafts and from the beginning in cinemas and photography.The photos on the exhibition are visual associations, references to this presence. They are impressions, quotations in which the animals, our eternal companions, can be seen. Maintaining nature is a basic condition for man’s individual and social existence.The creators participating in the exhibition try to visually explore the relationship between man and nature in different ways, through the aspect of ecology and the relationship between the organism and the environment.

Opening hours: Monday – Friday 07.00-22.00 Saturday, Sunday 10.00-18.00
Minimalism consists of many modern art forms (music, architecture, design and others). What connects them is that they all try to create things with as little tools and materials as possible. Forms and colors are clear and simple, which gave the name to minimalism. This artistic style was born and flourished during the 60s and the 70s in America. The fans of minimalism believed that less is more and the geometrical form is based on common experience. Photography is the easiest and probably the best approach to capture minimalistic topics. Hence the title of the project: Minimal 1x 2x

The outer homogeneous world can be fully expanded and molded inside our microcosm. The direction of formatting (from the space of external existence happens to the interior or from inside to the outside) is irrelevant, it is interoperability is the key and the way of interoperability decisive but individually obtainable identities can be considered. Our photographs are precursors free of illusory precedence they demolish the time – space, dead – living mysticism.

Traditional Jewish cemeteries are like immense pages of old chronicles or the Scripture, handwritten on the soil with gravestones as letters and lanes as background, dotted with ritual buildings and framed by long walls. Modern Jewish graves depart from this world in order to bring Jewish cemeteries closer to the Christian world. Photographs by Rudolf Klein offer an insight into this world.

Opening hours:Monday to Friday: 10.00 – 18.00
On the 20th anniversary of Platán, it is just natural to reflect back on these two decades, and we celebrate with the exhibition of Péter Gémes, an emblematic figure of the Polish-Hungarian fine art relations. “Will Péter Gémes’ art remain indelible in the History of modern art? I personally belive so. But probably much more important than any future judgement is our common experience as those lucky enough to exist somwhere in Central Europe at the end of the twentieth century. Here I think of the joy of common existence with such a righteous, wise and sensitive man in a white cap who could perceive the world with the critical distance of an old mandarin. A man who helped us find the ineffable meaning of this strange world. A man for whom art and goodness, so rare these days, constituted unity.” Jacek Werbanowski

This visual diary of Misha Vallejo Ecuador based photographer gathers photographs made in locations along the Manta-Manaus Multi Mode Axis, which was supposed to be a 2,500 Km commercial path that should have been capable of competing with the Panama Canal. The voyage was an excuse to subjectively study South American identity and present the findings of a trip that instead of images of idyllic places and folkloric subjects, shows the banality of everyday life of people whom nothing out of the ordinary happens. This is a body of work about failure, anti-heroes and anti-climax. The exhibition is held with the cooperation of Budapest Photo Festival and Photo Europe Network. Misha Valleho won the PHEN Award at the PHOTON Valencia Festival in 2018.

Valéria Sóváradi: At the exhibition, I will show those black and white large-scale charcoal drawings which represents the empty dimensions of the city landscapes, and which I interprets with just a few furniture and objects.
Anna Fabricius: The photo series Postwork shows real, meat-and-blood workers without seeing their faces. Image editing based on painting traditions is a reverence for these workers. The different noble body representations, postures and handicrafts are typical of aristocracy filling their free time. In these postures and situations, we see people dressed in work clothes instead of parapets or elegant clothing.The alienation as subject appear both in my mother’s and my pictures too. While my mother show it through the empty spaces, I show it in the faceless postures.
