The exhibition held at the Mai Manó House presents a selection of Orshi Drozdik’s mostly analogue silver gelatin photographs, taken between 1975 and 1995.
The exhibition entitled The Photograph and the Love Poem 1975–1995 marks the Budapest debut of Blink and Sigh, a series created from 1976 to 1978, which has until now rarely been presented to the public. The love poems – which were often used, both previously and later – comprise an integral part of the experimental photo series.
To accompany the exhibition, video recordings were made of Orshi Drozdik in conversations with late art historian László Beke, and with curator Lili Boros. In connection to the exhibition, a 320-page book is also published by the Hungarian House of Photography – Mai Manó House featuring 20 years of photographic work by the artist.
