Marcel Breuer Photo Project
Agnes Mezosi
Capturing the modernist geometry of Breuer’s structures, from concrete to chrome.
Marcel Breuer
1902, Pécs - 1981, New York
A Hungarian-born architect and designer, Breuer was a defining figure of the Bauhaus. His work is characterized by a functional approach and the honest use of materials.From his iconic tubular steel furniture of the 1930s to his later monumental raw concrete (brutalist) buildings, his architecture remains a study of mass and light.
The Project
This project didn’t start as a mission, but as an act of curiosity.
I simply found joy in the journey to these sites, experiencing the spaces through my own eyes. For me, photography was never about documentation it was about the encounter.
A meeting between a way of thinking, the legacy of Marcel Breuer' work, and my own perspective.
The project is fueled by the experience itself and the freedom of a journey that doesn’t need to end only to continue.
