The Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center holds the opening of the exhibition Mirrors – Géza Perneczky’s conceptual photography from the 1970s on 16 October.

Géza Perneczky is a pioneer of Hungarian conceptual art, his early works and publications had a catalyst role on local neo-avant-garde tendencies. Since 1970, Géza Perneczky has been living and working in Cologne, and he has been an important mediator between the Hungarian/Eastern European and the international art scenes. This exhibition curated by Patrick Urwyler has been set up as a comprehensive overview of Perneczky’s conceptual photography, the most prominent works of the artist’s oeuvre. All were created at the beginning of Perneczky’s artistic career, coinciding with his emigration to Cologne. It was largely during this short but formative period that this dissident artist created his most famous works, today represented in renowned collections at the Metropolitan Museum and MoMA in New York, and the Pompidou Centre in Paris.
