"XXXHOLY - Heart of India"
2000-03-17 until 2000-04-14
Museum for Decorative Arts
Hamburg, , DE Germany

During the last three years the German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski flew seven times to India in search of mystique and his personal interpretation of the Indian soul. Far from claiming to understand the complex systems of eastern religions his images are nonetheless energetic and vibrant. They reflect the curiosity of the spiritual search and a strong interest in Indias holy sites through a truthful representation of beauty. On the other hand the viewer has developed an analytical distance (Distanz) which transforms Indias holy sites into a mystical stage with sometimes pathetic moments.

Peter Bialobrzeskis ten large format photographs leave the viewer in a state of undecisiveness: Torn between magnetism and ironic distance the viewer has to decide which side appeals most.
