Gold

Peter Tillessen is a storyteller & his language is photography. Through twenty sets of his photographs, he depicts city life with irony & humor, in images pregnant with meaning. A green plastic alien is propped against a balcony juxtaposed against a mannequin in a store window; a young businessman quietly looks ahead while a jackhammer bores its way into concrete in an adjoining photo. These images point to the bewildering & puzzling daily life in a big city: the fabric of movements, events, & coincidences that they offer becomes increasingly wilder, more disordered, & more confused. Yet, we learn in Tillessen's Gold that they are also full of irony & humor & offer their own quiet enjoyment.Tillessen, Peter is the author of 'Gold' with ISBN 9783907078273 and ISBN 3907078276.
