Adam Magyar

In February I went to Berlin on a Photography trip, I visited  a lot of  Galleries and museums.

Adam Magyars exhibition, Underworld at Collegium Hungaricum Berlin, was one of the exhibitions I visited.


I find this guys work really interesting, check out the 'Stainless' Series;

Adam Magyar 'Stainless'

On the Magyar website you are given the
opportunity to magnify parts of the images
so you can see the individuals.

The actual images are large, displayed at eye view height  and the images are so pin sharp that you can spend time looking at every face, every person lost in their own world.


The exhibition Underworld is a tribute to the City and Citizens using a unique technique revealing new dimensions in Photography - disclosing ever-present but never-seen layers of the city it depicts citizens as elementary particles acting in the greater whole living in a flood of chaos and functional progress.
The way he captures every day life as so tranquil and in such a an aestheticized way encapsulates the viewers, I and every other person in the exhibition rooms moving along studying every detail in the images... trying to figure out his marvellous technique.

The two images to the left give an idea of what you will be able to see in person, I found it interesting to look at each person, how they are reacting at their personal spaces being involved and how they look in this state, these people aren't glorified aesthetically in the images, they are shown how they really are, how we react in situations that are so uncomfortable that we don't care how we look, when we are counting down the seconds to just get out of that moment. 

                                                                                               

As well as the 'Stainless' Series, there was 'Urban Flow' and 'Squares'
