Photography is not only documentation, but also discovery - revealing the layers of reality, making the invisible visible. This exciting concept will soon be explored in the next exhibition at Hungarian Art & Business (HAB) art centre, supported by the MBH Bank Art Foundation, as an official and flagship event of this year's Budapest Photo Festival. Starting on 8 April, the new exhibition will take visitors on a journey through the borders of light and shadow, reality and perception, while using contemporary photography to question our ideas of reality.

A new photography exhibition, Invisible to the naked eye, opening on 8 April, presents the work of three visual artists - Philippine Schaefer, Ádám Schór and Yorgos Yatromanolakis - who approach the tension between the visible and the invisible from different perspectives. The exhibition aims to invite viewers on a perceptual journey: exploring the transitions between worlds shaped by reality and illusion, memory and projected future, light and its absence. The works, created using a variety of artistic techniques, encourage visitors to rethink the traditional boundaries of visual perception.

The exhibition, which is the official and flagship programme of the 'Budapest Photo Festival 2025', will not only be an important event for contemporary photography, but will also invite the audience to a deeper reflection: what do we consider to be real and what role does photography play in understanding our world? The exhibition, curated by Szilvia Mucsy, will be on view at the HAB from 8 April to 18 May and will be accompanied by a series of accompanying events, including exciting guided tours.

Their current exhibition, Bardo is also well worth a visit

Before this special visual experience unfolds, however, Hungarian Art & Business' current exhibition, Bardo still offers visitors the opportunity to view the work of the 2024 Derkovits Gyula Art Scholarship winners and to take part in exciting guided tours by invited artists until 30 March.

Based on the concept of the "bardo" from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the exhibition presents the different states of passing and transformation, the different states of human existence, as conceived by Dr. Noémi Jusztusz and Tünde Sipos, curators of the Petőfi Cultural Agency. As the Bardo evokes the in-between states of existence, the transition between the physical and the spiritual world, the subsequent exhibition will also deal with the blurring of boundaries - this time in the dimension of visual perception and the layering of reality, as they write in their press release.
