"The definitive monograph by Anders Petersen"
1000 Words
Michael Grieve
"a rich display spanning the entirety of Petersen’s forty-year oeuvre, edited and sequenced to make wonderful visual associations in layouts that combine the very recent with the very old and everything in between. The work defines Petersen’s consistent approach, singular in style and yet rewarding in content. Quirky humour, melancholy and longing ooze from the page.... Petersen has proved, without doubt, that he is one of the most important and influential contemporary photographers, and that he is who he is."
A-N
Tim Clark
"the black and white photographs contained in this delicious monograph are coloured with emotion, experience and a distinct sensitivity towards his subjects.... raw and hypnotic"

"informative… illuminating…. Opening the current monograph, you don’t simply gaze at a Petersen image; you enter it."

Featured image is reproduced from Max Ström's exquisite new monograph on Swedish photographer Anders Petersen. Essayist Hasse Persson writes, "Anders Petersen wants people to recognize themselves in his images. His career has been about photography that creates recognition. He is genuinely interested in the people he meets and his humanistic approach is not about border demarcation. Many accuse Anders of solely depicting outsiders, but this production embraces people from all social classes. And nowhere is there repudiation, rather recognition. 'For me, the photographic instant is also about intimacy with myself. To approach the experience of reality and do more than just describe it. And to try to be present in the experience. At times it's sweet; sometimes I pick up my camera and life jumps into it, like rabbits. Everything is in play.'" continue to blog
