City Diary

The City Diary exhibition consists of an immersive installation of 48 large-format prints of photographs made by Anders Petersen (born in Sweden in 1944) between 1967 and 2018. According to the will of the artist, who is reiterating the scenographic principle of his very first exhibition in April 1970 at Café Lehmitz in Hamburg, the prints are pinned to the walls, covering them all. All of these photographs will be published in the upcoming volumes #4 to #7 of the famous City Diaries by the Swedish photographer.

The principle of the exhibition, based on mural compositions starting from the corners of the gallery space, is also reminiscent, on a completely different scale, of both the book and the contact sheet, primordial objects for Petersen who, since the 1960s, has never stopped photographing the world on black and white film. “Because there are more colours in black and white.”

With the precious support of Brice Garçon, Photo Days and \Else.
