Peter Wehkamp "Barely Moved" show, Berlin, DE

Barely Moved show flyer

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.
