Press Release

Peter Bialobrzeski’s photographs of the seashore allow us to experience something immediate, the presence of something sublime — the memory of an ideal landscape. His pictures can also be read as a poetic meditation on change and disappearance - like the sinking of the legendary Rungholt, the Atlantis of the North. At the same time, they deal with the relationship between man and nature and, formally, between figure and sea and horizon.

Peter Bialobrzeski, born in 1961, is one of the most influential German photographers of the last decades. Among other things, he has won the World Press Photo Award twice and was awarded the Erich Salomon Prize in 2012. In the last 19 years he has published 31 books. His work has been exhibited in Europe, the USA, Asia, Africa and Australia and is in numerous private and public collections, including the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Hamburg, the FC Gundlach Collection in Hamburg, the Ruhr Museum in Essen, the Fotoforum in Cologne and the Museo di Fotografia Contemporanea Milan, DZ Bank Frankfurt am Main, Hessische Landesbank Frankfurt am Main, Quandt Holding Frankfurt am Main, ING Bank Netherlands, Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Frankfurt am Main, Museo Vaticano Rome and the Uni Credit Art Collection Munich.

About the Artist

The photographer Peter Bialobrzeski defines his work in terms of ‘aesthetic pattern’ rather than style. For him, photography is a tool used to make sense of the world; as a result, he places great importance on aesthetic coherence. His subject matter and approach occupy a territory between photojournalism and fine art, and he takes an interest in both the documentary and aesthetic nature of the medium. He has produced numerous series, of which 19 have been published in book form.
