"It's paradise now but, as the title implies, it will shortly be Paradise Lost. And, as in John Milton's Biblical tale, the loss will be because of human fallibility. It's an interesting idea and it's, largely, impeccably executed. "

“Bialobrzeski is our witness to social injustice, aspirations and futility. Again, his depictions of Africa are not without hope. He acts as our eyes, zooming in on details of a home where hope remains, a home decorated with love and pride, as comfortable as it is in the inhabitant's power to make it.” EYEMAZING

"The urban centers in Mr. 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 1996 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." Vicki Goldberg, New York Times

"Bialobrzeski cites both Caspar David Friederich and Joel Sternfeld as influences for hie series of massively scaled landscape photographs, and he strikes an ideal balance between romanticism and realism. His subject is HEIMAT, a nostalgic notion of the German homeland, which was tainted by the Nazis. Bialobrzeski attempts to rescue it from kitsch and xenophobia in these broad, low slung and shamelessly beautiful vistat of snowy mountains, verdant hills, and busy beaches. People, often quite tiny, are visible in all these spaces , and their humble presence gives an abstract idea a spark of soul."

Over a period of three years, the German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski made several journeys to India, where he visited religious sites and explored the mystique and the soul of the Indian subcontinent. Far from pretending to comprehend the complexities of Eastern religions, he creates a unique field of tensions in his photographs. While his works reflect the curiosity of the spiritual seeker who gazes in wonder upon the sacred shrines of India, daring to profess open admiration for their beauty, they also reveal an analytical distance that transforms the holy sites of India into a stage.

Peter Bialobrzeski explores in his Project “Eden” the boundaries between picture taking and pictures making. Shot at the “Cradle of Humankind” in South Africa in December 2010 the well known photo artist looks at the relationship between believe and science. The place itself which is meant to be the cradle of civilisation turns into a Paradise in the images of Peter Bialobrzeski. Order a signed copy .
