tehnica schweiz

tehnica schweiz is the hungarian duo gergely lászló + péter rákosi. they have been collaborating since 2004, and for this project they collected drawings of suspects from a hungarian police magazine and then found people to photograph who fit the descriptions. as they explain: "the drawings are done by trained experts (police artists) by hand or with the help of a specialized software. these pictures are usually based on testimonies of several eye-witnesses. they don't intend to depict the split-image of the offender, but to emphasize special characteristics on the delinquent's body or/and face. ...for each drawing we were looking for a model who would carry characteristics similar to the drawn person. these people we took portraits of with a large format camera." take a look at more of tehnica schweiz's stuff right here.

history lesson • lászló moholy-nagy

lászló moholy-nagy was born in hungary in 1895, in the 1920s he moved to germany and eventually became a teacher at the bauhaus. in the 1930s he landed in chicago and was instrumental in the spread of photographic education in the united states. he began his experiments with photography in the form of photograms in the 1920s. looking at these works today i am blown away at how interesting and relevant they still look and feel. i love his graphical approach to picture making and the spirit of experimentation in these. see more of lászló's work here.
