Tibor Foeldes (*1957) Conceptual Artist/photographerlives and works in Zurich/Switzerland Study of Architecture, Design and Set Design for Film in Pressburg and Budapest The beginnings of Tibor Foeldes’s photographic work are in analog black and whitephotography. Having grown behind the Red side of the Iron Curtain, the possessiveof a photographic apparatus in the Slovakian town was a privilege. The black and whitephotography fascinates him in its complexity to this day. It focuses the attention of theartist on the essential and the essence and he worked out in his own development laboratory. Long perspectives, intense shadows and reduced color are the most important forms ofexpression in his artistic work. The longing of the artist is wide, empty landscapes in whichhe totally got washed in, coming from another world. Objects created by human hands placea counterpoint or fit homogeneously into the landscape. Endless lines in architecture endingin the nowhere, hovering, creating an easiness, give his photography peace in an urbanenvironment. He move between the interfaces of analog and digital photography. The Artistinposition is supposed to be opposed to the digital mass Photograph. In the digital processing of the photographic material, the photographic subject is notprocessed and altered, the material is retained in its original form. The artist is particularlyinterested in using the potential of the photography for the transformation and discogeringand designing new images of reality. At the same time, it transforms reality into a new imageof the reality. Foeldes digital photo work is a dynamic process, which he continue to work on using newknowledge. They serve to underline the main picture in an overall context. His Artistin workis about perception and emotions and their expression. The work process proceed intuitivesand the photography is characterized by his subjective vision. The recognition of his personalattitude should be clearly recognizable. Angela Matarise/Curator
