Stratification of an Archive: Possible Approaches to the Oeuvre of Péter Korniss
The publication is related to research on the history of photography conducted by KEMKI ADK. It contains extended and edited texts from the presentations given at the conference entitled Stratification of an Archive: Possible Approaches to the Oeuvre of Péter Korniss. The diversely themed essays in the volume provide new interpretations of attitudes that prevailed in Hungarian documentary photography and photojournalism in the post-WWII period.
Illustrated with images from the Péter Korniss Archive (held in the collection of the KEMKI ADK) as well as some previously unpublished photographs, the authors explore aspects of the artist’s œuvre with respect to the history of photography, press and art, as well as in connection to art theory and art trade.
Edited by Balázs Zoltán Tóth.
