Presence / Photo Exhibition by Kata Varju

The exhibition’s abstract yet vivid images invite viewers on a dreamlike journey to the boundaries of reality and imagination. Light, image, and meaning create the reality we perceive; but where does reality end and imagination begin?

The images create a meditative, almost sensual, transitional space in which the viewer is an active participant, becoming an observer of their own perceptions. Approaching the subject from the perspective of photography, we arrive at the questions posed by Yves Bonnefoy’s philosophy of images; does art exist in his photography? Where is the human presence behind the images he creates, and what exactly is reality? Images that appeal to the senses convey impressions rather than information; they open doors within ourselves.

Photographer and therapist Kata Varju—who has been exploring the mysteries of the human soul for 25 years—now offers us a glimpse of this journey condensed into a single space.

Location: Dubniczay Palace / Granary, 29 Vár utca, Veszprém
