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.
