In his global long-term project planned for fifty volumes (begun in 2013) Peter Bialobrzeski
poses the question of whether the conception of the image of a city shaped by prejudices
pre-existing notions and media representations can be translated into real images. For the new
four volumes he travelled to New York Norderney Istanbul and Vilnius. He is interested in
the cultural diff erences visible in each cityscape. He poses the question of what has already
been superimposed by increasing globalisation or what remains visible. With his consistent
seemingly objectifying visual language this epochal documentary experiment can be wonderfully
comprehended in each book and especially by comparing the individual books for example for New
York or Norderney.
