The backbone of the Who We Are exhibition consists of the portfolios of a few important photographers, ranging chronologically from the early beginnings; that is, Aladár Székely, to the present day. We are also showing some self-portraits and studio interiors, revealing how the artists see themselves and their working environment, so the paintings and graphics seem to engage in a dialogue with the photographers’ portraits.
Photographs by filmmakers? What could be the point in exhibiting a filmmaker’s photographs? Motion picture is in fact a series of sequential still images, making the aesthetic of a film image similar to the aesthetic of a photograph.
