| Abstrakt: |
Márton Áron Borda is the owner of two significant collections. The bigger one is the Recto-Verso catalogue, which contains about 10,000 pictures comprising the front and back sides of photographs (and their variants) made by photographers who once lived in the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The other one, a personal collection, contains pictures taken from 1860 to 1920 and is guided mainly by personal preferences. Zsuzsanna Farkas's interview with the collector touches upon the history and evolution of the collections and the responsible management of the relationship with Hungarian fellow collectors and the institutional network. The article also mentions Márton Áron Borda's next project and elaborates on the changes induced by digitalisation as well as the collectors' changed habits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
