VIKTOR KOPASZ creates individual diaries in which the monochrome images he uses – portraits, self-portraits, snapshots, still lives, and abstract close-ups – are digitally manipulated or coloured with aniline dyes. His photographs are further reworked with the addition of text – pencil notes and rubber-stamped slogans in Hungarian, English, and Slovakian – glued clippings, public transport tickets, and other miscellanea reminiscent of particular events or evocative of some feeling or thought. His diaries, each a substantial volume in itself, fit together to comprise projects, some of which have been printed as autobiographies (Shadow play, In the Jungle, Kertelö).

VIKTOR KOPASZ was born in Slovakia in 1973. He lives and works in Prague, Czech Republic
