TIM PETERSEN präsentiert uns mit 'Mensch Rudy' sein neues Fine Art Projekt auf GoSee. Zu sehen sind die grossformatigen Arbeiten als Ausstellung in der Galerie Orange in Tegernsee. Die Eröffnung findet am 4. November ab 18 Uhr statt. Gezeigt werden die Fotos bis zum 7. Januar 2023.
Entstanden sind die Motive vor der Retro-Kulisse des Aqua City Motel in Minneapolis. Das in den Sechzigern gebaute Haus wurde kürzlich geschlossen und soll einem sozialen Wohnkomplex weichen. Tims Strecke ist sicher eine der letzten Produktionen, die in dem legendären Motel stattgefunden hat.
Tim Petersen’s first introduction to photography was in his father’s studio, which was opened in the 70s during a pivotal time for Germany’s emerging photography industry. Petersen started his own studio in Hamburg at the age of 22 and quickly became fascinated by the New York subculture scene. At the time, notorious and underground fashion magazines such as Interview, Details and Arude viewed style as a statement; an attempt to express the feelings of a generation. After moving to New York, Petersen became deeply engaged in that editorial scene, and this is where he found and developed his unique artistic style.
His background in fashion photography influences his photos, displaying a classic golden ratio while telling stories and raising questions that transcend the photo itself. Petersen had his first solo exhibition in 1996, kick-starting a successful career in fashion photography, and he focused on work for top fashion magazines and fashion houses. Throughout the years, he continued developing independent passion projects, which have gained importance in recent years, resulting in a series of solo shows. In 2022, his work became part of the prestigious Kelterborn Collection.
