PHOTOSUPREMATISTS

Photographs without a camera. An exhibition space turning into a darkroom with the help of a seventy-year-old bicycle. Transformed buildings. The upcoming, unconventional exhibition of the Capa Center brings visitors to the fascinating world of contemporary Hungarian photography and fine arts. Photosuprematist works by artists Károly Minyó Szert, Anikó Robitz, and Bálint Szombathy are on view to the public from January 27 through March 14.

THE LIGHT BICYCLE AND THE TELEPHOTOGRAPH – A PECULIAR EXHIBITION AT THE CAPA CENTER
– exhibition of Károly Minyó Szert, Anikó Robitz, and Bálint Szombathy
January 27 – March 14, 2014

Károly Minyó Szert, Anikó Robitz, and Bálint Szombathy are outstanding artists of Hungarian contemporary photography, who earned professional and public recognition with their unique vision and inimitable pieces.

The legendary Károly Minyó Szert is, most likely, the only artist and hand-made photographer in the world that combines photosentitizing painting gestures and photography. As part of his spectacular photo-performances, Minyó, pedaling a 75-year-old bicycle in the exhibition room transformed into a darkroom and spanning through light-years, becomes the irony of nature.

Anikó Robitz’s photos of unadultered Suprematism give a whole new meaning to architectural photography and sightseeing. Traveling through the metropolises of the world, she transforms buildings into artworks of photography.

Omitting the camera as a device, Bálint Szombathy’s photographs are false images that were created by a telephotograph, an instrument once used for telecommunications. From the artist’s point of view, the grayish-black squares echo the notion of pure sensibility.

The exhibition of Károly Minyó Szert, Anikó Robitz, and Bálint Szombathy is on view from January 27 through March 14 at the Capa Center.
