Máté Bartha – The Dice Man – VERNISSAGE

“I want to return to the long-abandoned family home, to stand one last time before the vast windows overlooking the Danube, watching the golden reflection of sunlight.” This longing is at the heart of The Dice Man, a photographic pilgrimage shaped by memory and chance.

Supported by the Budapest Photography Grant, Bartha Máté’s project is a deeply personal reckoning with the loss of his parents at a young age. Through the remnants they left behind—photographs, drawings, diary entries, and recurring dreams—he embarks on a journey across every district of his hometown, using these fragments as a guide in an attempt to construct a personal mythology standing at the boundary of past and present.
