Peter Piller has been exhibiting at Galerie Barbara Wien since 2002. In his seventh solo exhibition Bürgerliche Dämmerung / Civil Twilight he presents around 30 colour and black-and-white photographs and drawings made in 2025. To introduce the group of works we conducted an interview with Peter Piller. → Read the interview here.
Peter Piller (born 1968) works with found images from a wide variety of sources, as well as his own drawings and photographs. He is an artist and collector, tracker and archivist. In and with his mostly extensive series, he makes previously unseen visual connections visible, reorganises found structures of order, and shows unexpected visual analogies by placing images in dialogue with each other, revealing the coincidental and hidden aspects of life.
Based in Berlin’s central Tiergarten district, Barbara Wien is an established contemporary art gallery with a focus on conceptual art. Since Barbara Wien opened her namesake gallery in 1988, it has also operated a bookshop, selling artist books that date as far back as the 1960s.
