Images by Zoe Lili Érmezei and Viola Fátyol are part of the show which runs from February 18 until 26.
 
Fátyol lives and works in Budapest. She graduated with a master degree in photography from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in 2011.
 
Her series Orando et laborando ? Praying and working is based on personal memories surrounding her experiences at the Reformed College of Debrecen. Through her work she shows us the world of the school in an artistic light, the gallery says on its website.
 
?My aim was to put the values of the ?alma mater? on a pedestal and to show how important the influence of a religious school might be," Fátyol says of the images.
 
Érmezei was born in 1988 in Budapest. She graduated from the Moholy Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest with an MA  degree in Photography. Her work has been shown at several solo and group exhibitions in Hungary, France, Germany, Luxembourg and Lithuania. She lives and works in  Helsinki and Budapest.
 
Her series Body borders is a photographic experiment about the changing relationship between the model and the photographer. During the photo shoot the artist was not present and there was only a virtual connection between her and the models. She instructed them through Skype.
 
?It is important for me to understand how the models feel about their own femininity and how their body-, and self-image would change during the photo shoot, compared with that of the usual fashion photo shoots,? Érmezei said.
