Within the framework of Fonó's Wednesday Dance House -

On November 11th we open an exhibition of photography by Zoltán Gyetvai from the former Upper Hungary region (today in Slovakia).

The photographer uses a 160 year old technique to achieve exceptionally sculptural images. He uses a damp colloidal process to make photographs on glass plates. The exhibition takes us on a journey back in time. Gyetvai has many times accompanied ethnomusicologist Gergely Agócs on his field collection trips in Slovakia and the exhibition includes a series of magnificent portraits of Agócs's informants.

The exhibition can be viewed free of charge through December 15th, 2015 - anytime the Fonó is open.

December 5th . 1.30 pm - Have your portrait taken by photographer Zoltán Gyetvai!
Have a timeless photograph made of yourself or your family. Come in costume or in your everday clothing.

Gyetvai will take your photograph using the damp colloidal process used in our great, great grandparents' time.
Location - the studio next to the Fonó.

Request an appointment in writing at:  fono@fono.hu

We can only accomodate the first 12-15 people. Price of the photograph with frame is 15,000. HUF (12,000. for the glass plate without frame). You can pick up your photo two hours after it's taken or during the evening program at the Fonó. We would be most pleased if you would permit us to add your photograph to the exhibition until December 18th and then pick it up after the exhibition is taken down. If you do not like your  photograph, you can refuse it, but the photographer will have the right to add it to his portfolio.
