János Vető Nahte: Pioneering Neo-Avant-Garde Photography - Collaborations & Radical Portraiture

János Vető Nahte is a photographer, painter and musician.. He was a leading figure of non-conformist photo art in Hungary’s neo-avant-garde period and the New Wave period that followed and continues his approach today. During the second half of the 1970s he collaborated with the body artist Tibor Hajas, assisting and photographing Hajas’s actions. They also jointly created photographic art works in which Hajas performed solely for Vető, who was already renowned for his photographic work that radically challenged the conventions of portraits, self-portraits, and nudes. Vető lives since 1991 in Copenhagen/Malmö.
