Steidl Publishers - Peter friedl | jean-francois chevrier

• O stea, bazat pe 1 voturi

• Since 1995 Peter Friedl has been photographing public playgrounds from around the world and compiling them alphabetically by reference to the names of the places
• Friedls conceptual photography project engages at a discursive level with themes of socio-history
• Design
• And urbanism
• It makes no claim to being a comprehensive typology but is instead a narrative study in which the photographed playgrounds are as important as those not shown in his photographs
• This is a story of the world told through the prism of its playgrounds
• Peter Friedl adopts a comparative approach
• Reminiscent of the anthropological projects of the first half of the twentieth century
• Or at least his form of presentation suggests a kind of comparison: the quest for meaning at the intersection of repetition (image on image) and differentiation (the differences between the pictures)
