The Deichtorhallen, Hamburg, presents German photographer Peter Keetman’s 'Shaping The World', on view through February 12, 2017.The photographic oeuvre of Peter Keetman (1916-2005) is central to Germany’s postwar modernism. The title indicates how Keetman’s photographic approach merges two creative tendencies of his time - one, the modernist intention of form and shape, allowing for experiment and abstraction, and on the other hand the humanist reference to the world, reflecting and investigating the human beings and their surroundings. The exhibition presents Keetman’s perpetual and creative examination of both aspects, his search of a fresh and relevant photographic expression and his conceptual approach to visual phenomena in a photo-historical prelude and eight chapters. His famous series - One week at the Volkswagen factory 1953, as well as his subtle light-oscillations (1949−1955), Keetman’s major achievements for modern photography, are presented in a comprehensive selection of works.The exhibition is on view at The Deichtorhallen, Deichtorstraße 1, 20095 Hamburg, Germany.
