Firestorm

Nóra Fanni Zentay uses alternative photographic processes as a form of hybrid visual expression. With lumen prints and cyanotypes, she paints with lights and shadows. She makes photograms without a camera and creates chemigrams, which means painting with photographic chemicals. Her art focuses on capturing the everchanging, uncertain state of nature. She focuses on human vulnerability as our natural condition. To express this insecure state of being, she works with accidental tools, broken materials or expired photographic papers damaged by time.
