in different moments and contexts.

By combining composite images (each of them made out of several snapshots taken in different places and moments) I try to find visual counterparts for the sensation of déjà vu and/or false recognition.

These photomontages point out connections and synchronizations, which I feel more and more frequently along with the passing years, that can sometimes appear between people, things and events.

Iosif KIRÁLY (b. 1957)
He’s a visual artist and professor at the National University of Arts in Bucharest.
His artistic practice investigates the relationship between perception, time, synchronicities and memory through photography, installation, drawing and video. He initiated, coordinated and, together with architects, visual artists and anthropologists, participated in research projects related to the changes in post-communist Romania: D-platform, RO-Archive, Triaj or Tinseltown. In the 80s he was active in the mail-art network, an international underground movement initiated by Fluxus. After 1989 he exhibited individually, within the subREAL group, and in other collaborative formulas.
