This new photo series by Gábor Gerhes displays sportsmen – mostly soccer players – in motion. Gerhes used found statuettes as models for the photographs displaying the negative image of figures resembling Greek torsos of sportsmen. Also archaic in its medium – evoking the bromotype technique – the subject and presentation of the work both convey heavy political criticism.
