Dual journey. Hungarian photos about the world (1857-1978)
Vienna, Collegium Hungaricum

As exhibition-title suggests visitors can take part in two journeys at the same time: on the one hand diversity of the world visited by Hungarian photographers over 160 years becomes visible, on the other hand a selection of a new, not known segment of world-famous Hungarian photography can be seen here.

Questions, keeping occupied many minds became the leading thought of the exhibition: what pictures were seen, what photos were taken by Hungarian or Hungarian originated photographers and which technique was used by them since photography was invented. The first photo of the selection was taken by Pál Rosti in 1857 when he was on a South-American expedition and the closing photo was taken by a contemporary-artist. Between these two furthest points there are 80 photos shown, that are definitely not concentrated on photographing famous tourist-sights, but they all reflect the feeling and mentality of countries through lenses of Hungarian photographers.

Photos of André Kertész, Márton Munkácsi, Robert és Cornell Capa, Ferenc Berkó, József Pécsi, Haller F.G., Angelo, János Reismann, Márta Rédner, Miklós Rév and many others are exhibited. A common point in their artistic life is that their autonomous photos taken abroad have high importance in their life-work.
