Light Shift

The sensitive handling of light has distinguished Peter Schl r's photographic work for more than two decades. In his most recent compositions as well, elements unnoticed at first glance gradually emerge in what initially seemed to be abstract black-and-white fields. The landscape in Turkey or the Canary Islands that was at first perceived as "untamed nature" turns out to be a civilized landscape--attesting to the intervention of human hands. By harking back to the grand tradition of landscape painting, Peter Schl r restores to photography its original description as "h liogravure" drawing with light.
