She is one of the most prominent and internationally renowned representatives of the Hungarian photographic generation that started in the mid-2000s. Her works, which fall under the category of fine art photography, reduce the salient details of the architectural sight to modern abstract forms. According to art historian Rita Somosi, her visual world is defined by the parallel presence of reality and abstraction: “She builds from strict geometric forms, but the role of constructing is taken over by the mapping of real locations, through which the visual abstraction of the world around us becomes visible." Born in Nagykanizsa, Anikó Robitz studied analogue photography and laboratory work at the Camera Anima Open Academy (Szellemkép Szabadiskola) in the mid-2000s. She started on the path of analogue artistic photography with an old camera, then moved to digital techniques and found her main subject: architecture. In her travels, she seeks iconic or distinctive sights of 20th century modern and contemporary architecture. She captures particular details of the architecture, angles reduced to geometric patterns. Without any post-processing, the final composition is created by snapping the picture, where corners, plaster textures, cast shadows, wires, wall paintings and joints appear in a geometric language similar to that of Suprematism or Minimalism. The reduced, often black-and-white colours are the result of the original locations and the realistic view of the selected details. The specific buildings are unidentifiable, the titles of the photographs only indicate the city (from Strasbourg to Zurich, from Colombo to Angyalföld). In addition to modernist abstract tableau painting, the visual language of Robitz was influenced by the photographic legacy of the Bauhaus, such as László Moholy-Nagy and the 20th century master of building photography Lucien Hervé. In the late 2010s, her subject matter expanded to include reflective surfaces, family photographs and nature drawings. Robitz is the winner of several national and international photography awards and since 2007 she has regularly exhibited abroad and participated in prestigious photography fairs. She travels a lot for work, but lives in Budapest. Gábor Rieder
