Acb Attachment hosts Máté Dobokay’s (1988) first solo exhibition as acb artist. In his practice, the young conceptual artist explores the limits of photography: he often uses cameraless means and operates with long phases of research before unveiling the inner structure, the raw materials, chemical and physical components of photography. The paper, the photographic chemicals and the chemical reactions being the tools of his investigations, the works resulting of his photographic experiments cannot exactly be labelled as photography. The exhibition entitled Density revolves around three different series that Dobokay elaborated between 2013 and 2019. The selection featuring abstract pictures focuses on the medium and its material aspects, as well as on the relation between photography and painting.
