Hungarian visual artist Máté Bartha (b. 1987, Budapest; MA Photography, MOME 2011; MA Documentary Film, SzFE 2016) undertakes a chance-based photographic pilgrimage through grief and memory navigating Budapest. Losing both parents at an early age, Bartha traces a family lineage of loss guided by the roll of dice determining each destination, spiraling inward toward the city's center where his childhood began. Fragments from his personal archive — childhood drawings of spirals and mazes, his mother's architectural drawings, his father's winter photographs — interweave with new images as signposts across the metropolis.
