Kata Varju / Presenceexhibition openingMagtár Gallery

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

The exhibition will be opened by photographer István Halas with the participation of actress SáraBori Debreczeni
Venue: Veszprém, 29 Vár Street, Dubniczay Palace / Magtár Gallery

The images create a meditative, almost sensual, transitional space in which the viewer becomes an active participant and an observer of their own perceptions. Approaching the subject from the perspective of photography, we arrive at the questions posed by Yves Bonnefoy’s theory of the image: is there such a thing as poetry in photography; where does the human being lie behind the images they create; and what, exactly, is reality? Images that appeal to the senses convey impressions rather than information, opening doors to our inner selves.
Kata Varju, photographer and therapist – she has been exploring the mysteries of the human soul for 25 years, and we can now get a taste of this, condensed into a single space.

The exhibition is open until 15 November 2026.
