MUSEUM | Guided tour by art critic András Bán at the exhibition "Roads and Crossroads | 3rd National Salon of Photographic Art"

“Many people travel the paths of artistic self-expression, heading in different directions, at varying speeds and intensities, and with different goals. Each of these paths has its own validity; in fact, all of them may be worth showcasing. Of course, no single exhibition space in the world has that much room. So we had to decide which direction to take when we began organizing this year’s photo salon. The more than 150 photographers selected approach their stated or implicit goals—which is nothing other than building a coherent body of work in our ever-changing, evolving world—through various paths. These paths can be defined and renamed in many ways, just like real roads, but in our opinion, they largely cover the map of contemporary Hungarian photography.”
