Descriptions & Essays
"Focus" is an image composed of and comprising 98 different layers. Each individual element of the picture is given a layer, and each digital layer documents a detail from Waliczky's reality.
The viewer can explore the individual elements of this virtual documentation according to contents and contex, can reveal the structures and principles of the digital space of perception and thereby also reveal its process of becoming. Yet in exploring the picture collage the viewer will never forget than he is moving through a virtual world of Tamás Waliczky's perception and creation.
"Focus" is made up of hundreds of photographs and can be viewed equally as a personal, digital photo-album as well as a metaphorical vision of Europe. Starting with the blurred, simulated photograph of an imaginary street on which a crowd of people has gathered, it is possible to investigate individual members of the crowd and the relationships between them. The camera in this case is the interface.
