THE I COUNTRY

The material created during my stay in India between September 2010 and April 2011 was exhibited in Demo Gallery, Budapest, along with the photographs of Zsófia Szonja Illés, and Gábor Klima, in November 2011.

In the title of the exhibition "I" could stand for India, but for Imaginary, or the person behind the photographs, the observer as well. I installed every single frame, without selection, and in the exact order of the negative rolls. As the approx. 2000 photos were printed in Mumbai, originally for practical reasons, the show is an experiment on an alternative approach to documentarist photography.

By not using artistic selection, the importance of single frames are left for the viewer to decide. But in this unordinary situation, while the patterns of sequences show the lapse of time and space, different attitudes behind the creation of photography become visible as well.

The project "Liminality", highlighted on the left, consists of single images from the body of work presented here. It is a conceptual edit of the same material, presented in June 2011 as my diploma project at MOME.
