Exhibition of Transylvanian Photos Opens 

The exhibition has so far been shown in cities in Germany and Hungary, but it will be presented in Transylvania for the first time on the 12th of December in Oradea.

The artist offers us the following reflections on her paintings, “In 1992 I visited Transylvania for the first time on a ten-day tour. Transylvania touched me, it went to my heart. Through these photographs I tried to show the spiritual experience that the air of Transylvania, the spirit of Transylvania, radiated to me. The pictures were taken 30 years ago, but perhaps they still say something about the humanity, faith and the endurance of the people living there.”

Erzsébet Farkasné Ács, born in Bátaszék, has been a photographer since childhood. She gained experience in portrait, documentary, and architectural photography. In 1979, she joined Ybl Miklós Technical College, specialising in ethnographic exploration. She exhibited Transylvanian and Holy Land photographs and published a book about architect Miklós Ybl.

The exhibition titled “My Transylvania” will be opened by photographer Levente Vigh on the 11th of December at 6:00 p.m. in the Partium House. The artist will be in conversation with István Stanik.

The opening will be attended by world-famous conductor János Ács on piano and singer Klaudia Kuczmog, who will perform Kodály’s Transylvanian folk song arrangements.
