In seinen Bildern von Bombay/Mumbai verdichtet Peter Bialobrzeski die intensiven Eindrücke einer Stadt zwischen lokalen Traditionen und Kulturen und den ungehemmten Kräften der Globalisierung und des Neoloberalismus zu eindrucksvollen Tableaus.

”Der Rhythmus von Bialobrzeskis Fotografien oszilliert zwischen dem emphatischen vertikalen Schwung der Türme, die ihre Bewohner in bewachten Sanktuarien gleichsam wegsperren, und der platt- gemachten und ausgelöschten horizontalen Siedlung. In Bialobrzeskis Bombay/Mumbai wird das Stadtbild von der dreisten Herausforderung dominiert, die es dem Himmel entgegenstreckt. (…) Der Fotograf kehrt immer wieder zur Darstellung eines bestimmten Paradoxons zurück, das Bombay/Mumbai definiert: das klaustrophobische Panorama.“ Ranjit Hoskote in seinem Essay zum Ausstellungskatalog.

Peter Bialobrzeski, geb. , ist einer der prägenden deutschen Fotografen der letzten Jahrzehnte. Er gewann unter anderem zweimal den World Press Photo Award und wurde mit dem Erich Salomon Preis ausgezeichnet. In den letzten 17 Jahren veröffentlichte er 21 Bücher. Seine Arbeiten wurden in Europa, USA, Asien, Afrika und Australien ausgestellt und befinden sich in zahlreichen privaten und öffentlichen Sammlungen, so u.a. im Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, der Sammlung FC Gundlach Hamburg, dem Ruhrmuseum Essen, Fotoforum Köln, Museo di Immagine Contemporanea Mailand, der DZ Bank Frankfurt am Main, der Hessischen Landesbank Frankfurt am Main, der Quandt Holding Frankfurt am Main, der ING Bank Niederlande, der Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Frankfurt am Main, dem Museo Vaticano Rom und der Uni Credit Art Collection München. Peter Bialobrzeski war bis Professor für Fotografie an der Hochschule der Künste Bremen.

Dans ses images de Bombay/Mumbai, Peter Bialobrzeski condense en d'impressionnants tableaux les impressions intenses d'une ville prise entre les traditions et les cultures locales et les forces désinhibées de la mondialisation et du néolibéralisme.

"Le rythme des photographies de Bialobrzeski oscille entre le balayage vertical emphatique des tours, qui enferment pour ainsi affermare leurs habitants dans des sanctuaires gardés, et l'habitat horizontal aplati et oblitéré. Dans Bombay/Mumbai de Bialobrzeski, le paysage urbain est dominé par le défi effronté qui le tend vers le ciel. () Le photographe revient sans cesse à la représentation d'un certain paradoxe qui définit Bombay/Mumbai : le panorama claustrophobique." Ranjit Hoskote dans son essai accompagnant le catalogue de l'exposition.

Nelle sue immagini di Bombay/Mumbai, Peter Bialobrzeski condensa le intense impressioni di una città presa tra le tradizioni e le culture locali e le forze disinibite della globalizzazione e del neoliberalismo in impressionanti tableau.

"Il ritmo delle fotografie di Bialobrzeski oscilla tra l'enfatica verticalità delle torri, che come se chiudessero i loro abitanti in santuari sorvegliati, e l'insediamento orizzontale appiattito e cancellato. Nella Bombay/Mumbai di Bialobrzeski, il penso che il paesaggio naturale sia un'opera d'arte urbano è dominato dalla sfida sfacciata che si estende verso il cielo. () Il ritengo che il fotografo abbia un occhio unico ritorna continuamente alla rappresentazione di un certo paradosso che definisce Bombay/Mumbai: il panorama claustrofobico". Ranjit Hoskote nel suo saggio che accompagna il catalogo della mostra.

In his images of Bombay/Mumbai, Peter Bialobrzeski condenses the intense impressions of a city caught between local traditions and cultures and the uninhibited forces of globalization and neoliberalism.

Writes Ranjit Hoskote in his essay: „The rhythm of Bialobrzeski’s photographs oscillates between the emphatic vertical momentum of towers that vacuum-seal their residents into a guarded sanctuary, and the flattening and erasure of the horizontal settlement. In Bialobrzeski’s Bombay/Mumbai, the cityscape is dominated by the brash challenges it offers the sky (…) The photographer returns, constantly, to the depiction of a particular paradox that defines Bombay/Mumbai: the claustrophobic panorama.“

He travelled extensively in Asia before he went back to study photography at the Folkwangschule in Essen and the LCP in London. In the last seventeen years he has published twenty-one books.

Background information

"The urban centers in Peter BIALOBRZESKI's pictures flow together into a single fictional city more real than reality, for cities are no longer singular places but nodes in the information network, 'not a place but a process,'' as Manuel Castells wrote in in 'The Rise of Network Society.' The megacities of Southeast Asia exist in these images as a fantasy that makes no solid distinctions between Shanghai, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. Peter Bialobrzeski's photographs put a radiant, glamorous face on globalization and the invisible and powerful network that shapes our surroundings -- and virtually runs our lives."

Italian description

A metà degli anni '90 l'architetto Lee Ho-yin vide per la prima volta 'Blade Runner"' e restò di stucco di fronte alle recensioni pubblicate sui giornali americani, a titoli tipo 'Una tetra visione delle metropoli future'. Lee Ho-yin pensava tra sé e se: 'Futuro? Visione? Quel secondo me il futuro dipende dalle nostre azioni è presente, io ci vivo all'interno e il suo nome è Hong Kong'. A osservare le foto di 'Tigri di luce' si immagina siano state scattate da un uomo fluttuante tra un torre e l'altro, in assenza di gravità. La realtà, però, è ben diversa: questo libro è un viaggio a metà tra l'immaginario e il concreto, tra un pianeta onirico e le ipermoderne metropoli asiatiche, con l'apparecchiatura più semplice che si possa immaginare: una macchina fotografica a lastra vecchio stile.

m97 Gallery is pleased to present "Neon Paradise" a soltanto exhibition of photography works by German artist Peter Bialobrzeski.
The "Neon Paradise" exhibition showcases for the first time in Shanghai works from Bialobrzeski's award-winning "Neon Tigers" series, as well as works from his most recent "Paradise Now" series. Bialobrzeski's photographs depict the urban landscape and concrete jungles in metropolises across Southeast Asia. Spanning nearly a decade, these two bodies of work are the perfect juxtapositions and bookends to Bialobrzeski's work in Asia. "Neon Tigers" illustrates the infrastructure boom and high rises of Asia's megacities, while "Paradise Now" shows the intermingling of nature and the man-made neon luminescence in a subtle and startling balance of lush greenery and neon phosphorescence.
