21.00h – Adam Magyar – Scripted Rhymes
Adam Magyar (born 1971) is a Berlin-based Hungarian photographic artist. He is captivated by high-tech cities and man choosing to live an urban life. Magyar depicts the synergies of man and the city, and embraces the city as home to both man and technology. With each of his series, he observes time flowing by and life pulsating in front of his eyes. In his works, he scrutinizes the transience of life and man’s inherent urge to leave some trace behind. Magyar is ready to combine conventional techniques like the slit cam with readily available devices like a scanner and merge the two into a camera by a program he himself has written to be able to produce his unique cityscapes.
His works have been exhibited in several solo and group shows internationally, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Hong Kong.
Seemingly, state of the art devices give you everything you need for completing your photography projects. But what if the image you have in mind demands even more and you need to reach for fields outside photography?
In Scripted Rhymes, imagemaker Adam Magyar tells the story of his journey down this road and intends to inspire the audience to think outside the box when working on a project. He aims to present that unusual combinations of hardware and software may reward you with the image you have in mind.
