Mirror-portraits
Your past - my present
Th exhibition will be open until 4th November 2006.
This exhibition of works by the young artist Zsolt Asztalos offers a possible alternative to portraiture. He uses not brush and canvas but a series of photo-based installations incorporating anonymous photographs found in piles of junk on the streets. The central piece in the exhibition is an enormous, dark mirror surface on which the full-length figures of seven people can just be made out. Identification with the unknown faces and their fates as the strangers blend into our own mirror images shows that our own existence cannot be made independent from the lives of others. The exhibition is in line with the latest art trends, seeking identity and adopting a personal tone.

October, 2006
