Speaking in Images

English

Visual communications is ever changing. While video enjoyed the highest profile in the field a decade ago, print has made a comeback, along with analogue photography and classic graphic techniques. But today's students are no Luddites. They easily mix new technology with traditional techniques. The work of the MOME students shows genres brashly overlapping.

Barbara Antal's work

Among the highlights of the exhibition is a series of photographs of psychiatric patients from Berlin by Barbara Antal that have been placed in different contexts. The reinterpretation creates a theatrical, though lucid, composition.

 
Éva Ágnes Molnár's photographs show a kind of female liberation. They are also paradoxical, as the photographer herself - with the help of a self-timer - is present in the images.

Virág Hargitay's work

Among the books on display is an a touching volume devoted to the poetry of Sándor Weöres by Virág Hargitay, a graphic illustration of the defense of Socrates by Zsolt Vidák and Zsófia Szemző's "Pocket Guide of Time".

 
Perhaps the strangest of the works on display is Ágoston Nagy's Sonorama, which reacts to the presence of someone nearby with light and sounds borrowed from nature, recreating a kind of ancient tribal rite.
