Péter Nádas is one of the most outstanding artists of Hungarian art. His literary works have been translated
into almost all the languages of the world, and it is difficult to list the many national and international awards
he has received during his long career. 

Péter Nádas' photographic work dates back to the 1960s. Originally trained as a photographer, he worked as
a press photographer for 'Nők Lapja', among other publications, but in the 1970s he retired from formal
photography and continued to make photographs in dialogue with his literary work. He took hundreds of
photographs of the pear tree in the garden of his house in Gombosszeg, a series of which illustrated his book
'Own Death'. Nádas continued with analogue photography until 1999, but after the publication of his book of
selected photographs ‘All the Light’ he abandoned it to the extent that he dismantled his laboratory and
donated his images to the Kunsthaus in Zug and the Petőfi Literary Museum in Budapest. Since the early 2000s,
he has been taking his pictures digitally, mainly with an iPhone.
