| Summary: | "Peter Peryer is one of New Zealand's leading contemporary photographers. As Peter Simpson puts it, 'Peryer has over the past three decades and more constructed a world - call it Peryerland - which has its own distinctive typography, climate and features. Only the best photographers are capable of such a feat'. And as the 80 plates in this book show, Peryer is incredibly innovative, constantly refining his photographic practice, notably with his embrace of digital photography from 1998 and his increasing interest in colour." "Peter Peryer: Photographer is the largest body of Peryer's work yet assembled, personally selected by the photographer and are largely drawn from his enormously productive period over the past ten years. A wide-ranging introduction to Peryer's work by Peter Simpson and an autobiographical essay by Peryer are also included. Interested in doubles, pattern and repetition, problems of scale, the surreal and the grotesque Peryer most often focuses on the 'thingness' of his subjects and objects. Rich in lovingly examined bits and pieces, and prompting a viewer always to think harder about their significance, Peter Peryer Photographer is a quirky and intimate guide to Peryerland."--BOOK JACKET. |
