Summary/Abstract: Those days we consciously called our favourite pictures simply ”photography”, avoiding any kind of reference to ”piece of art” or ”art” (by this deliberately irritating those dominating the institutions of photographic art). We often visited the Hórusz Archive, or rather Sándor Kardos: to see wrong, unneeded, odd photos found in closed-down studios and near garbage cans (and Géza Perneczky added his aesthetics of error: ”error is what leads us out of the world”).
