Three Colours
Taking you back to the Tsarist times of a century or more ago, Sergei Prokugin-Gorsky’s images show the groundbreaking work of this pioneer of colour photography. Using his own machine with three colour filters, Prokugin-Gorsky captured daily life in Russia in the years immediately prior to the Revolution.

Milán Radisics: Sur/Real Lands
Photojournalist/artist Milán Radisics is known for his aerial images, and here presents farmland in Zaragoza and Toledo. From above, these scenes appear like abstract artworks, the waterways where olives and wheat grow, tolerating summer heat and drought. Of course, the local farmers hardly realise what spectacular landscapes they have created with their labour.

Nadja Massün: Intimate Universe
The black-and-white images of French-Hungarian photographer Nadja Massün show reality while keeping their distance at the same time, remaining extremely personal. The starting point of her career, sensitive presentations of family members and the emotional, trusting relationships between them, continued to set the direction for her later work.
