Peter Bialobrzeski's latest project a long-anticipated follow-up for all fans of his highly-praised photography series Neon Tigers and Heimat. In Heimat, his last collection of photographs published by Hatje Cantz, German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski (*1961) gave us pictures of his homeland that showed it in ways it had never been seen before. PHOTO International deemed it one of the most beautiful and significant photography books this year. Yet, even before that, Neon Tigers, Bialobrzeski s critically acclaimed exploration of Asian mega-cities, had made him a frequent topic of discussion on the international photography scene. In his new project, the photographer examines the transformation of urban wastelands, many of them located on the peripheries of cities. The photographs were taken in more than twenty-eight cities and fourteen countries including Hamburg, Dubai, New York, Singapore, New Delhi, and Kuala Lumpur and portray the phenomenon of the transition from old to new, from the familiar to the abstract. These images are as seductive as nineteenth-century Romantic paintings, but their apparent beauty is deceptive. As in his earlier works, Bialobrzeski masterfully explores the limitations of the documentary image.

Perfection
11 July 2008

Format:Hardcover
Lost in Transition is another masterful collection of photographs by Peter Bialobreski exploring urban landscapes in flux. It's style is very much similar to his photographs of Asian Megacities in the book Neontigers Peter Bialobrzeski: Neon Tigers (Hatje Cantz), if you like that book you will probably like this one also. The exposures are usually made at dusk, or in the evening, and the images have his trademark dream-like quality which blends the past and present into a futuristic vision where all human constructions are interesting and extraordinary. Compositionally many of the scenes are more sparse than those in Neontigers, and as such there is a hint of the design/spirit of Heimat Peter Bialobrzeski: Heimat (another incredible collection). Bialobreski is an artist who has utterly mastered his craft, his photographs are magical, and book after book is simply perfection. He has advanced fine art photography beyond even the most vaunted of photographers. Gursky is to Ringling Bros. as Bialobreski is to Cirque Du Soleil
