Anders Peterson: Stockholm
Anders Petersen's chaotic, lyrical love letter to present-day Stockholm
Swedish photographer Anders Petersen (born 1944) has spent four years (2015â2018) documenting the people and urban spaces of Stockholm. This volume gathers his energetic black-and-white images of a rapidly expanding cityâof everyday life and celebration, of young and old, snow falling on KatarinavĂ€gen, a parade of dachshunds in GĂ€rdet, an operating theatre in Danderyd, New Year's Eve celebrations at Skeppsbron's giant Christmas tree.
The book constitutes Petersen's first portrait of his native city; previously (and famously) he has photographed psychiatric hospitals, circuses, prisons, the city of Rome and the Café Lehmitz in Hamburg.
Anders Petersen is at his best when he freezes a low-key moment", Liljevalchs' director MĂ„rten Castenfors writes in the book. "A snowy and desolate winter street, a glimpse of wonder. Images that reveal his incredible sensitivityâhis presence and his love of what he sees, be it a person or an object that leads us to an unexpected association.
