Born in Hungary, raised in Canada, living, working and teaching in Santa Barbara, California, George Legrady has been exploring the effect of digital media on culture. In photo-based works, interactive media installations and computer-generated data visuals, he experiments with aesthetics as well as the representative and narrative potential of images created by traditional photography and digitally processed visual content.
In accordance, this exhibition at the INDA Gallery showcases a selection of works focusing on historical narration, personal memory, the significance of viewpoint, and the relation to time and space. In lenticular prints, videos and interactive video installations made from still images, computer-sliced archive photos and images from archive materials from the history of Hungary are projected onto one another, or also juxtaposing moments of emigré life in 1970s’ Canada with those of today.
