The Horus Archives: Kossuth Prize recipient cinematographer Sándor Kardos’s collection of vernacular photography, is the largest private collection in Hungary in terms of size, comprising close to one million images. Horus is one of the most significant Egyptian gods, depictions of his eye—a popular charm—symbolize the whole, totality. The choice of name primarily refers to the magical, extraordinary, unexpected, and unintentional meaning of images.

The event is realised in cooperation between the Horus Archives and Eidolon Center for Everyday Photography.
