36th Hungarian Press Photo Exhibition
This is the 36th year that the Hungarian Press Photo Exhibition presents the previous year’s most memorable, spectacular or important moments – to jog our memory as well as to give more information about the world around us.
Pictorial Collective: Danube Perspectives
One of Europe’s largest rivers has inspired countless photographers, and each photographer has shown an entirely different aspect. They have done so not only because the river appears different in the various genres or ages, but also due to it being pictured by a variety of artists. Who approaches it as a subject and how do they look at it? What do they pay special attention to? To the landscape in the background? To the people who live near or by the water? And anyway, where do the photographers take up their position? On one of the riversides, from where they look at the water? Or on the other side or they are on the water, looking out?
Action at a Disctance
Action at a Distance is a physics term that describes the ability of two distant poles or objects to interact with and change each other from a distance.
The space between the landscape and the photographer creates a relationship, which leads to the subjective expression that remains closely tied to the documentation of the site. To paraphrase Lewis Baltz, the landscape provides an open set of possibilities that are open to deeper analysis. The works of Morten Barker, Emanuel Cederqvist, and Philipp Meuser present us more than a stretch of land or a scenery.
