Emil Novák, photographer of solitude.
The works of Emil Novák published in private edition. We see film directors, actors and cameramen as they go about their work on set or in a break. The subjects appear posed and at the same time not. From Mari Törőcsik to Miklós Jancsó, we meet so many faces, some standing alone, some together. But whatever side of themselves they present to the camera, the sense that shines through is that of their solitude. No, it could never be that personal, it is not something they possess, it is not theirs to own, it is simply solitude alone. We catch them in the split second after shedding a role or picking up the part they are to play, after finishing filming or just before they start.
