Müller, Peter (Germany) Verlach Friedichrodaer Hefde. Living at Home.

Living at Home
Unnumbered artists book of photocopied images taken on travels through South Africa. I KNOW these places, and I hope the title suggests that Peter felt right at home in our beautiful country.  There are many thinks that make for ‘home’, but one of the major contributors are good memories, where it does not matter where on earth one is, just that one feels at home.



Müller, Peter (Germany) Verlach Friedichrodaer Hefde - Hinterland

Hinterland (boredom and tristesse) - beyond your boundaries

Peter is an avid traveller and I think he has traversed the corners of the world. Hinterland is comprised of images taken in Queensland Australia - a part I know quite well. It is curious the way the banal follows humans, yet for each human involved there are layers of complexity in the ordinary.  This appears to be life in its most abject state of melancholy sadness. Its interesting too, the treatment of the images.   They are ‘filed’ in no particular shape or order or fold, just layered in a manila folder and although randomness is suggested, I think Peter’s ways are far more multifaceted than that.
