Despite his young age,
Mátyás Misetics
has been for years a determinative figure of the
scene of photography
in Hungary. The exhibition aims to give an
overall picture

of the works of the artist
so fare, starting from his early works of 2005, through his remarkable diploma work of 2007, the
Artificial Light
, up to the latest series of 2014 entitled
Utopia
.
Through the works of Mátyás Misetics one can encounter a consciously and organically evolving oeuvre, the defining notions of which are: the darkness of night, staged scenes, figures stiff in a waking sleep, artificial lights and the lustrous street signs shining from the blackness of the pavement.
The specifically wrought and designed compositions, the perfect, precise implementation and the richness of tones
all lift his photographs from everyday technologic works to the level of the purest of fine arts.
In his latest series the known scenes of
urban nights
is further developed, inspired by the
surrealistically distorted planes
and
cities
created by the
virtual and interactive world view algorithm of Google
. The shockingly transformed city scene generates a unique context for the figures in it, strengthening a feel of a world of defencelessness, manipulation and the rule of technology.
Supplementing the feel of this world, the less known works of Misetics, showing the
enigmatic pictures of natural environments
are to be also presented. These works that pose the dominance of nature and are void of concrete human presence, in many cases, however are endured with the hint of the veiled, environment changing effect of it.












From the beginning Misetics is engaged parallel in different traits of arts, and for that on the upcoming exhibition,
besides the photo series, other media will also gain space (video- and sound installation), picturing his determinative ambition of crossing the borderlines of the art of photography.




It is a curiosum that a singular
atmospheric audio
will be created for the venue, which reflects on Misetics’s MOME Ph.D. research showing an exciting example of the interaction of the visual and audio contents present in the exhibition space. The exhibition thus turns into an entirely complex visual and acoustic experience, which raises numerous questions on human and space, tables of signs and environment, as well as the liaison of self-defining.
