“Élni annyi, mint szenvedni a vágytól, és belehalni az unalomba. A kettő között van a dekadencia, és az egész jó.” Michel Houellebecq “A deviancia az, amikor képes vagy egyedül maradni egy szobában, és nem érzed úgy, hogy meg kellene ölnöd magad, vagy be kellene kapcsolnod a tévét.” Charles Bukowski “Ne kérdezd, ki vagyok, és ne várj el tőlem állandóságot: hagyd meg nekünk deviánsoknak azt az örömöt, hogy minden alkalommal másnak tűnjünk, amikor megszólalunk.” Michel Foucault Három avatott férfi nyilatkozata az élvezetek hajszolásáról. Az Edith - mint ahogy az elődje, a hajdani Piaf is volt -, a deviancia fóruma. Itt elég csak megpiszkálni a vörös kárpitot, és már dől is belőle az időtlen bujaság. Bodogán Sándor fotói a klub vérbő temperamentumának őszinte, kendőzetlen dokumentumai. Ezeken a képeken retusálás nélkül, a hétköznapi maníroktól mentesen mutatkozik meg Edith igazi, vad oldala.

PARTI NAGY LAJOS és VÁRADI ANDRÁS rendhagyó tárlatvezetése • PHOTO I BRUT – Ösztönös fotográfia – Válogatás a párizsi Bruno Decharme-gyűjteményből↴ https://capacenter.hu/esemenyek/parti-nagy-lajos-es-varadi-andras-rendhagyo-tarlatvezetese-photo-i-brut-osztonos-fotografia-valogatas-a-parizsi-bruno-decharme-gyujtemenybol/ 2026. február 20-án, pénteken, 17 órától Parti Nagy Lajos költő, író és Váradi András, a kiállítás társkurátora rendhagyó tárletvezetést tart a PHOTO I BRUT – Ösztönös fotográfia – Válogatás a párizsi Bruno Decharme-gyűjteményből című bemutatónkon, amely során részletek hangzanak el Dumpf Endre kizárólag virtuálisan létező költő műveiből. „míg él az ember folyton incseleg az osztályon bár csöppet sincs meleg hajszál híján kihűltem rám csomózták a pizsamámat és mint a tejberizsa máma déltől egy tömbben ültem” Parti Nagy Lajos: Létbüfé (őszológiai gyakorlatok) 2017. Parti Nagy Lajos (Szekszárd, 1953. október 12. –) Kossuth- és József Attila-díjas költő, drámaíró, író, szerkesztő, kritikus. 1998-tól a Digitális Irodalmi Akadémia alapító tagja. Költői nyelvének stílusjegyei közé tartoznak a beszélt nyelvben is előforduló, autentikus szóalkotások, szóösszevonások, tájnyelvi elemek. Karaktereit többek között ezek kisajátításával és saját nyelvi játékával teszi szellemessé, eredetivé és élővé. A népetimológiai fontos forrás számára, amely az art brut-höz hasonlóan szintén egyfajta ösztönös tevékenység, amely során a nyelvet beszélő az általa hibásnak érzett alakot a saját tudása és logikája mentén kijavítja. Időpont: 2026. február 20., péntek, 17 óra Helyszín: Capa Központ (1065 Budapest, Nagymező utca 8.) A belépés kortárs tárlatvezetés jeggyel lehetséges, melynek ára 3500 forint. Kérjük, vegyék figyelembe, hogy 19.00 kor zárunk – amennyiben a PHOTO I BRUT – Ösztönös fotográfia – Válogatás a párizsi Bruno Decharme-gyűjteményből kiállítást egyénileg szeretnék megtekinteni, azt az esemény előtt tudják megtenni. https://www.facebook.com/events/2626381417745949/

Hajdu Tamás: Keleten a helyzet még mindig változatlan A kiállítás ingyenesen megtekinthető: 2026. február 19. – március 29. Keddtől vasárnapig 12 és 19 óra között. Hétfőn és ünnepnapokon zárva. Kurátor: Somosi Rita Hajdu Tamás fotói a kortárs kelet-európai vizuális kultúra markáns lenyomatai. Munkáiban a dokumentarista fotográfia hagyományai keverednek az abszurd iránti érzékenységgel, miközben képei szoros kapcsolatban állnak a posztszocialista térség esztétikai és társadalmi örökségével. Olyan hétköznapi szituációkat ragad meg, amelyek első pillantásra banálisnak tűnhetnek, de fotográfiai kontextusba helyezve feltárul bennük az a groteszk és sokszor ironikus réteg, amely az egykori szocialista országok városi és vidéki tereinek sajátja. A fotók nem csupán vizuális naplók, hanem szociológiai és esztétikai szempontból is releváns lenyomatok: a spontán kompozíciók ellenére világos szerkesztési elveken nyugszanak, és egy tudatosan épített vizuális nyelvet tükröznek. Hajdu képi világa párhuzamba állítható a Neue Sachlichkeit dokumentarista szemléletével, ugyanakkor a kelet-európai groteszk – gondoljunk csak a cseh új hullám filmjeire vagy a román újrealizmusra – is rokonítható vele. A valóság ironikus, néha szürreális feltérképezése náluk is kulcsmotívum, csakúgy, mint Hajdu munkáiban. Hajdu Tamás képeinek központi eleme a posztszocialista tér vizualitása, amelyben a funkcionalitás és az esztétikai igénytelenség keveredik a múlt nosztalgikus maradványaival. Az így létrejövő képi világ sokszor a „buhera-esztétika” jegyeit hordozza magán: az újrahasznosított tárgyak, az ideiglenes megoldások és a vizuálisan disszonáns elemek egyaránt jelen vannak. Ezt az esztétikát Hajdu nem dokumentarista távolságtartással, hanem finom empátiával közelíti meg, így képei nemcsak elemzik, hanem értelmezik is a térben megjelenő kulturális mintázatokat. A fotográfiákon megjelenő tárgyak és élőlények – különösen az állatok – nem csupán díszítő vagy anekdotikus elemek, hanem jelentésképző komponensek. Az állatok hol beleolvadnak a környezetbe, hol kiemelik annak szürreális karakterét, miközben a klasszikus állat-szimbolikától elszakadva inkább a kelet-európai valóság allegóriáivá válnak. Az udvari sárga fotelből támadásra készülő macska vagy a hősugárzót cipelő férfi képei olyan helyzeteket teremtenek, melyekben az abszurd nem idegen, hanem ismerősen otthonos. Hajdu képeinek egyik legfontosabb formanyelve a humor, amely azonban sohasem degradáló vagy közönséges. Sokkal inkább az irónia, a vizuális paradoxon és a jelentésrétegek játéka jelenik meg munkáiban, amelyek révén a néző számára feltárulhat a képek mögötti társadalmi vagy történeti utalásrendszer. A humor itt nem a nevetés eszköze, hanem a kritikai gondolkodás aktiválása. Művei ugyanakkor egyértelműen kapcsolódnak a kortárs fotóművészet azon irányzataihoz, amelyek a mindennapi valóságot a jelentésképzés helyszíneként kezelik. Ilyen értelemben Hajdu fotói a konceptuális fotográfia és a klasszikus street photography határán egyensúlyoznak. Miközben nem megrendezettek, és megőrzik a spontaneitás erejét, mégis tudatos esztétikai döntések eredményei. Kompozícióiban az arányérzék, a térhasználat és a színkezelés mind azt szolgálják, hogy a hétköznapi jelenet átlépjen a művészi reprezentáció szintjére. A képeken gyakran feltűnő „időrétegek” – például a retro bútorok, kopott falak, vagy elfeledett, benőtt felületek – nem pusztán nosztalgikus elemek, hanem a posztszocialista időszemlélet kivetülései is. Ezek a motívumok egyszerre idézik meg a múltat és reflektálnak a jelenre, így a képekben egyfajta történeti távlat is megjelenik, amely túlmutat a pillanat megragadásán. Végső soron Hajdu Tamás munkáit az az ambivalencia teszi igazán érdekessé, amely a groteszk és a bensőségesség, a kritika és az empátia, a múlt és a jelen között feszül. Fotói egyszerre hordozzák a kelet-európai vizuális kultúra jellegzetes esztétikáját, és képesek univerzális érvényű kérdéseket felvetni: mihez kezdünk az örökségünkkel? Hogyan formálja a környezetünk az identitásunkat? Mitől lesz egy pillanat hétköznapi és mégis jelentéses? A PaperLab Galéria tárlata olyan válogatást kínál a művész eddigi életművéből, amely nemcsak stílusbeli és tematikai sokszínűségét, hanem következetes szemléletmódját is megmutatja. Hajdu Tamás 1976, Szilágysomlyó, Románia 2000-ben végzett a Kolozsvári Agrártudományi és Állatorvosi Egyetem állatorvosi szakán. Jelenleg állatorvosként dolgozik Nagybányán. Önképzés útján sajátította el a fotográfia mesterségét, 2005 óta fényképez tudatosan. 2013-ban a Sony Photography Awards, 2015-ben a LensCulture Awards, 2018-ban pedig az Exibart Street Contest finalistái között szerepelt. A Romanian Visual Awards legjobb streetfotográfusának járó díjat nyerte el 2024-ben. Képeit a New York-i Photoville-en és a hágai Spotlight Romania kiállításon is bemutatták, emellett több nemzetközi magazin és újság publikálta, így például a Punctum, a Practical Photography, a Vice, a Lenscratch, a Feature Shoot, a The Independent, a La Repubblica, a National Geographic és a The Guardian. Jelentősebb önálló kiállításai az utóbbi években: FotoIstanbul – a Capa Központ meghívására (2016), Sepsiszentgyörgy (2017), Budapest (2018), PhotoIs:rael – Tel-Aviv (2018), TIFF – Kolozsvár (2025). www.maimano.hu https://www.facebook.com/events/5020761471483645/

V zovretí mrazu (výstava fotografií) – Náladové zábery učiteľa a umelca Balázsa Bognára Koncept aktuálnej výstavy sa zrodil z úžasu nad krásou zimy. Fotografie boli inšpirované nádhernými tvarmi a kontúrami tohto ročného obdobia vyznačujúcom sa redukovanou farebnosťou. Mojim cieľom je upriamiť pozornosť na krásu, ktorá nás obklopuje v pomaly sa „roztápajúcej“ prírode, vyjadriť úctu k živej a neživej hmote a odovzdať tento odkaz ďalšej generácii. ********************************************************************* A fagy markában (fotókiállítás) – Bognár Balázs művésztanár hangulattára A mostani tárlat anyagát a tél szépsége hívta életre. A leredukált színvilágban előtérbe kerülő formák, kontúrok bűvöletében készültek/nek képeim ebben az évszakban. Célom most sem más, mint mindig. Felhívni a figyelmet, a lassan „olvadó” természetben minket körülvevő szépségekre.

Allora Gallery invites photographers from around the world to submit work for our international photography competition, "Stone & Stories." This competition welcomes both architectural and street photography, exploring the built environment and the life within it. Cities are built from stone, steel, and glass — but they come alive through the stories written within them. Every building holds history in its facade, every street corner witnesses countless human moments, every architectural detail speaks of the hands that shaped it and the lives it has sheltered. This competition celebrates the relationship between the structures we build and the stories we live, where architecture becomes the stage and streets become the narrative of human experience. How do you reveal the character carved into weathered stonework? What stories unfold in the spaces between buildings? Can your images show both the permanence of architecture and the fleeting moments of life it frames? We welcome architectural photography, street photography, and any work exploring the built environment—from historic facades to modern structures, from intricate details to urban scenes, from the monumental to the everyday moments that bring cities to life. Prizes: - Solo exhibition at Allora Gallery (scheduled for May 2026) - Email promotion to our mailing list - Social media promotion across Allora Gallery platforms - Digital certificate of achievement Eligibility: Photographers of all levels and backgrounds Copyrights & Usage Rights: Copyright of all images will remain at all times with the photographer Theme: Architecture Cityscapes Deadline: 1 March 2026 Entry fee: Entry fees: £7 — up to 2 photographs, £12 — up to 4 photographs, £16 — up to 6 photographs Website: https://alloragallery.com/open-call-stone-stories Forrás

The condition of being a woman is always situated, contingent, and relational. Everyday actions, public gestures, and private moments exist simultaneously as material realities and symbolic constructs. Photography can trace these tensions and illuminate their significance. "Women" seeks work that interrogates the complexity of these conditions. Submissions may document spaces, behaviours, or social interactions. Work may engage with temporality, repetition, or transformation. All approaches are welcome provided they prioritise critical insight, and conceptual engagement with the lives of women.

Just as a mosaic is composed of countless unique pieces that, together, create a singular work of art, so too is the Asian American experience.

Both professional and amateur photographers are encouraged to submit black and white and/or color photos for the contest. We invite you to contribute your creative vision to this mosaic.
