-photography is.... my one and lonely - Tamas Varga
This is much more than a self introduction from a great Hungarian photographer , Tamas Varga. It's much better,so much better!!!I hope more and more people around the world, have the opportunity to view this beautiful work! /Anita Balogh/
I have spent a large part of my spare-time working with many different historical and alternative processes, like camera obscura, oil print, gum print, kallitype, cyanotype, nitro-transfer, wet plate collodion.
I had 7 solo,- and more than 40 collective exhibitions. I wrote some articles for different photo journals emphasizing the connection between photography and psychology.
I fiery magnetized by traditional techniques; the new love in my life is wet plate collodion processes: ambrotype, ferrotype etc. I am a member of the Association of Hungarian Photographers.
Introduced in 1851, Wet-Plate involves coating an enameled metal or glass plate with a collodion mixture, which is then sensitized, exposed and processed – all within a few minutes and while the plate is still wet.
Ambrotypes are wet-plate collodion images made on glass plates, they appear as negatives, and can be enlarged in a traditional (black and white) darkroom.
The title of the project is Condensation, alluding to psychoanalysis which used this terminus for dreams. My aim, as a working method is to indicate the analogy of pictures and dreams.
Condensation - one dream object stands for several associations and ideas; thus, "dreams are brief, meagre and laconic in comparison with the range and wealth of dream-thoughts".(Freud, Jung)
These pictures are taken with special, self-produced pinhole cameras on different photosensitive material such as negative film, printing technique film, x-ray film. Number, diameter and placement of the holes, focal lenghts, placement of photosensitive material are changeable according to our conception, new and unusual dimensions are open.
This makes the pictures seem dreamlike.

The fair with long tradition takes place Kőrösfeketetó ont he bank of the river Sebeskőrös. This is an inimitable diversity of todays modern and traditional market place.
