Project #2: Utopia 

“Every day we pass through anonymous public spaces without emotional investment. But what if we stopped to check in with ourselves in these spaces?” 

Peter is an architecture photographer and came to PSC to undertake the MA with a goal to establish his art practice. His digitally composited images position viewers at the edge of a spaces they are considering entering. Built environments are stripped of context. Structures have no discernible purpose or entry points. Signs are absent or incongruous and paths lead nowhere. Peter’s city evokes the existential alienation of lives lived out in unremarkable apartment towers. During the MA program Peter established Stranger Gallery in St. Kilda and hosts many successful photography exhibitions.  

Biography
