This was another exhibition at the Hungarian House of Photography, single artists exhibits. All the work was displayed very simply, due to the complexity of the art itself. As a viewer I didn't feel informed well enough what the work was about, I had to do my own research on the techniques used to produce the images. The photographer works with polaroid images and applies a fine art touch to them by enlarging photgraphs and applying paint using a colourful pallet. Even though Lakatos work didn't appeal to me and left me feeling confuse, I still quite like the idea of working and re-arranging photographs by using different type of media on the image, creating unusual effects. Perhaps its something I could experiment with over the summer. My favourite piece of work out of the whole set was the image below, mostly because of its beautiful earthy colour scheme and soft marks of distortion.
