until 12.01. | #2278ARTatBerlin | Robert Morat Galerie shows from 16th November 2018 the Exhibition City Diaries by the Hamburg Photographer Peter Bialobrzeski.
Dear Friends,
we cordially invite you to th opening reception to our new show “Peter Bialorbzeski | City Diaries” on November 15, 2018. Photographer Peter Bialobrzeski is known for his investigations of urban space. He became famous for exhibition projects and book publications such as “Neon Tigers” (2004), “Lost in Transition” (2007) or “The Raw and the Cooked” (2011). In recent years, Bialobrzeski worked on a long term project of photographic “City Diaries”. Seven books have already been published. The eighth publication, on Wuhan, will be published on occasion of this exhibition. In these diaries, Peter Bialobrzeski examines the question of whether the image of a city, what is fed by prejudice, what has been found and what has been conveyed by the media, can be transformed into a specific picture. A seemingly objectifying aesthetic, paired with the coincidence of the flaneur, lead to photographs that subjectively map the urban space.
