Owners is a project about a house in the Hungarian Great Plain that was continuously inhabited for around 150 years by different families from varying social backgrounds. The exhibition is built from objects, photographs, letters, and documents left behind in the house, combined with the artist's own photographs made using cameras from 1860–1945.
The project asks what remains in a house after its inhabitants disappear, and how objects relate to the people who once used them. The artist consciously removes the objects from their original context, selecting and reorganizing them to create new narratives. The exhibition functions as an installation with wall-mounted works, a large dining table where visitors can rearrange found objects, and a performative flea market element.
The work operates at the intersection of personal memory, research, and speculative interpretation, questioning what value and meaning an object retains once it has lost its practical function, even when its personal stories are still known.
Examples of my pictures and techniques. You can see regular silver-bromide contact prints with their sides cut in the fashion of the 1920s. I also make sepia and blue prints (van dyke and cyanotype printing), that are both image-making processes from the XIX. century.
Examples of my pictures scanned, made during the project. All made on film and glass, using cameras from 1890-1945. Self-developed and printed.
A small selection of the documents and old pictures available.
