The approach to a place by photographing is the focus of Peter Wehkamp’s work. Besides, the term “Place” signifies not a localising definition, but the real perception of surroundings and an environment in which people exist. In the process Wehkamp faces necessarily a man-made landscape with his camera. The relation between people and nature leaves perceptible characteristics in the photographic works of Wehkamp. He describes the creation of spatial order which adapt themself in the nature, but also separate. With his analytic view Wehkamp looks for human tracks in the nature, which refers to an ambivalent interaction.

Check out this show of Buck Lewis‘ work at Barrett Art Center in my old home town of Poughkeepsie, NY, US. Looks like the center’s annual Photowork group show will be going on at the same time, so you can catch two exhibits at once!
