Exhibition of photographs by the Hungarian artist Ildi Hermann: Weekend

Kibela invited you to attend the exhibition opening on Wednesday 21st November 2007 at 8 pm : Ildi Hermann: Weekend.

Ildi Hermann (1978) is a representative of the young generation of Hungarian photographers. Her photographs are marked by seemingly spontaneous reality scenes, expressing the often neglected beauty of everyday life. Her exhibition in Kibela presents her most recent series of photographs titled Weekend. As a whole it functions as a sociological study, posing numerous questions related to Hungarian history and disclosing the social metamorphosis that has happened in recent decades. A distinctive sense for detail, strong hue and thoughtful combining of photographs into a composition conjure a vivid insight into life stories of common people.

The exhibition was on display until 3/12/2007.
