Marcell Esterházy experiments with lyric, light and varied media (always using them as tools rather than as the basis of his work), proposing
fundamental human issues related to time, transience and remembrance through almost natural associations of objects and ideas... Esterházy looks around and collects things, and everything catches his eager look while the “matter found” will manifest itself through associations of ideas that are sometimes perplexing sometimes giving food for thought.
Found photographs are the starting and inspiring source of his working method. He has been working on the series entitled Originalcopy since 2001. The personages are shown several times in the same collage from various perspectives in the course of the same actions. In his romantic
compositions, kept close to black-and-white, invoking the atmosphere of old memories, constant attitude of inguiry which aims at the quality of photography to document reality.
