OLVASÓ ÓZD 2012
The exhibition Melting Point, part of the European Month of Photography international festival, presents the work of István Mizerák (1942-1998), in his hometown in occasion of the 70th anniversary of his birth. Open from 30 October 2012 at the Olvasó in Ózd, the selection of more than forty large colour photographs represents the heyday of the local steel plant.
The exhibition would like to explore how a city's "image" is alive in the collective memory. In the photos, taken in the early seventies, the industrial environment and the surrounding nature appear together, the giant industry lying against the soft hills, flowers grow at the base of chimneys belching black smoke, but it is the man, taming the sinuous snake of liquid steel who truly gives depth to the photos.
For this subject – the relation between industry and nature, man and steel, heavy physical work and immense machinery, the brutality of industrial areas - a natural choice would be to use black and white images, with an emphasis on human and mechanical strength and the inhuman conditions of heavy physical work, a dramatic representation. This is in fact the general picture that live in people’s head about Ózd and the iron-factory workers.
Yet Istvan Mizerak chose the expression of color photos, bridging not only industry and nature's fundamental contradictions, but creating harmony in his images of the working people’s tranquil, yet dominating force in the light of the sun and beaming steel.
On his photos appear an image of a city, a steel factory, that these man know too well, and still continue to identify themselves with; even though now (the factory shut down, pelople unemployed) it is only a fantasy.
