About the Book
«Commedia dell‘Arte» 112 Seiten, Hardcover (30,5x30,5) Farbfotos.
In the cycle of «Commedia dell‘Arte» the idea of being a producer who takes the places of Budapest and the landscapes of Croatia as a stage, the people as actors and the found objects as a scenery to visualize the drama, became the main goal. Like in Renaissance paintings, where everything is in a manneristic way precisely set, I tried to compress my perception and compose the pictures. As a result of this, every picture tells a story of the «Conditio Humana» in a poetically, melancholy, bizarre and humorously way.
