Ábel Szalontai: Starry Bay

Ábel Szalontai's exhibition Starry Bay is a representative selection of a series of photographs made over decades. Images installed in light boxes and short, moving works depict the world of seas and ports, the stories of those who live there and those who pass through. Szalontai captures the shores of photogenic Iceland, crowded Shanghai, Istanbul and Corfu, the most distant point on the Danube at Sulina, the bustle of Gdańsk and Dublin. Buoys, fishing nets and hulls, sailors, fishermen and islanders, these are places of meetings and farewells, arrivals and departures, in fog and sunshine, at night or independent of the time of day.
