Anders Petersen, one of the most important European photographers living today. His book, Café Lehmitz, is now widely considered a seminal work in the development of European photography - a raw and intimate exploration of late-night Hamburg in the 1960s.
Petersen forces us to regard — often from an uncomfortably close vantage point, situations and subjects that most of us would avoid at all costs. What he reveals is tenderness, beauty, and common humanity.
"Petersens work speaks of voyeurism, curiosity, vulnerability, longing, and humanity - qualities that allows him to earn friendship and collaboration with strangers all over the world" — Jim Casper (Lens Culture)
