Butterapple

Zsolt Fekete is always working with the specific relation of time and space on photographs. In the recent years, amongst other things, Zsolt has been re-photographing 19th century Balázs Orbán and Ferenc Veress landscapes. He lives and works in Trgu Mures (Transylvania) and Budapest.

On lovacska.blogspot.com, Zsolt Fekete is publishing his newest photographs, and ever more often his short writings, personal reports on everyday events (unfortunately, most of it is in Hungarian only.)

“I am tracing photographs, which are more than 150 years old. In this relatively long time-span, I position myself. We can tell the story of our personal history best, our walk of life. Even though, our perception has been more visual for thousands of years and we dream with imagery instead of phrases, I feel that I have to use text to illustrate my story.

This is what I experiment with in my blog. Some images I reenact or reconstruct. All the rest, I write about.”

The exhibition on view in Lumen is the spacial representation of a blog-post entitled Butter Apple, a representation of one chapter in Zsolt’s personal historical chronicle.
