For #rotterdamphotofestival2020, exhibiting Hungarian artist László Gálos will be performing “Collodion-transitions” during the launch of the festival.

With this performance, the artist aims to make it clear how fragile and illusory the relationship between the created artwork as a worldview, and the feelings, thoughts and gestures that it contains, even if it is considered to be primarily documentary. In addition, the performance studies how works of art influence our perception of life and of reality – not only in their finalized, polished state, but also during and throughout their creation process.”

As one of the selected participants this year, he will also be showing his project “Collodion-archive”:

At best, one in every hundred makes it into an actual photographic image. The rest of them sink into oblivion, disappear without a trace, just like the moment that they failed to capture. Gálos shares a melancholic story. The depressing account of failed, unsuccessful, aborted and resumed images, of what was wanted and what was created.
