Until March 26, 2023

Exhibiting artists: Márta Aczél, Marianne Csáky, Orshi Drozdik, Andi Gáldi Vinkó, Katalin Ladik, Júlia Standovár

The exhibition Liberty, Equality, Sorority, Sensuality features images and photo series that have photography seen as a tool and opportunity for women’s emancipation, artistic self-fulfillment, and exercise of solidarity towards each other. In cooperation with Hungarian galleries regularly attending major international photography fairs, we selected works with the purpose of providing an insight into the oeuvre of artists who deliberately take an active role in opening up new perspectives on women’s personal experiences.

Balázs Somorjai: Panel World

Until June 03, 2023

“1 million 656 thousand. According to 2011 census, that was how many people had been living in panel apartments for just over a decade… every sixth Hungarians living in Hungary. I was one of those sixths.” writes Balázs Somorjai. His photo series Panelvilág (Panelworld), created from this personal motivation, is a special interweaving of portraits and interiors. The images, based on conversations and taken in a considered, then staged and lit space, visualize both the multiple sides of the personality and the private space together and their interaction. The staging and the lighting effects create an opportunity to highlight and condense the important moments.
