Peter Bialobrzeski (*1961) studied political science
and sociology in
Braunschweig, Germany, before taking up work as a
local reporter in his
hometown of Wolfsburg. He concentrated on photography
while studying
communication design at the Folkwangschule in Essen,
Germany, and at the
London College of Communication (LCP). During this
period he made
several trips to Asia. Since 1989, Peter
Bialobrzeski's works have
appeared in virtually all well-known magazines and
journals from GEO
Deutschland to the Korean GEO and the New York Times.
He has won several
awards including the celebrated World Press Award for
Arts/Stories
(2003) and the PDN Book Award, New York (2005). His
photographs have
appeared in solo and group shows in all five
continents. The Lothar
Albrecht Gallery in Frankfurt am Main and the Laurence
Miller Gallery in
New York are his agents in the art market. Since 2002,
Bialobrzeski has
been Professor of Photography at the College of Arts
in Bremen, Germany.

This exhibition of Bialobrzeski's large-sized
photographs juxtaposes his
pictures of the post-modern dreamworlds of megacities
from the
"NeonTigers" cycle, dipped in neon light, with the
"Homeland"
photographs - broad plains, mountain landscapes and
sea horizons.
