| For "Die Zweite Heimat" (The Second Home), Peter Bialobrzeski travelled throughout Germany with his camera between the years 2011 and 2016. With his photographs the artist attempts to depict the social surface of the country, that country which has been his home for more than 50 years. Through his glance the road becomes a sounding board. Above all, he is interested in the question: What does the country in which I live look like when I capture it in an image? What does the present look like once it is past? |

Bialobrzeski shoots exterior spaces that have been shaped by people: the city, the countryside, architecture. People appear when they are able to add a further dimension to the image. The artist’s gaze fixes on objects which are often overlooked, which do not seem to have any meaning and which only show their essence once they have been perceived and placed within a particular context.
One can also understand Peter Bialobrzeski’s images as fragments seen from the outside, as annotations. The resulting photographs speak for themselves. They do away with a contrived stance of bearing witness and allow themselves to be understood in sociological, documentary and therefore historical contexts. |
