Following László Gábor Belicza's 33 Sketchbook exhibition on view until February 2025, the PaperLab Gallery will feature seven new and exciting exhibitions next year. Highlighting the versatility and depth of photography, the exhibitions will provide visitors with a variety of perspectives, stories, and artworks. Notwithstanding, all of them are free to visit, making the diverse world of contemporary photography accessible to everyone at the PaperLab Gallery.
Máté Horesnyi’s exhibition Bienvenido Mister Extranjero!, which will run from February to April, marks the start of spring. His photographs capture the unique atmosphere of Spanish celebrations, where tradition meets modernity. Spanish festivals such as Fallas and Sanfermines come to life with brilliant colors and dynamic scenes that straddle the line between reality and imagination.
Next up is Aimee McCrory’s Roller Coaster. Scenes from a Marriage, from mid-April to the end of May. This exhibition presents the joys and challenges of marriage through candid moments. The award-winning series delves into the pleasures and difficulties of growing old together, offering an intimate look at the emotional spectrum of marriage. The photographs depict sincere and profound moments that may be familiar to many.
In June, Zsuzsa Schäffer’s black-and-white fashion photographs from the 1980s evoke the mood of the era in her exhibition Out of Fashion. From July to the end of August, Eleonora Agostini explores the world of restaurant work and the stories behind the service in her series A Study on Waitressing. Her photographs sensitively capture the monotony of work and moments of waiting while also reflecting on social roles and human relationships.
In the fall, beginning in early September, Sander Coers's POST series will be on view. With a sensitive aesthetic, the artist investigates the authenticity of photography in the digital age. The series explores our ideas of the past—the reconstructibility and manipulability of memories—while also raising issues about the representation of masculinity.
From late October to early December, we show Emmanuel Rosario's award-winning documentary series NYC Punk Scene. The series captures the energy and transformation of the New York punk subculture. The photographs not only document the lives of musicians and fans, but they also convey the enduring presence of the punk ideology in the city's vibrant culture.
The year concludes with Claudia Fuggetti's Metamorphosis, which will be open to the public from December to January 2026. The exhibition explores the evolution of the relationship between nature and humans. Through finely composed images, it illustrates the beauty and fragility of change with philosophical depth and powerful visuality.
