Solo show

Peter Piller (born 1968, lives in Leipzig) collects pictures familiar to everyone. He finds them in the archives of regional newspapers or in the picture collections of a company which sells arial views of houses. Freed from their original context they appear to lose any significance. By putting them together and classifiying them they look like clichees of commercial photography on first look. However, a second glance opens up new meanings and unusual relationships. The titles of the series are very often the original picture titles or notices such as "Nothing to see yet", "Regional Lighting", "Jewel/Blemish" or "More beautiful from Earth". What at first seems to be a detail at the edge of the photo can be the start of a story. In search of the undefinable picture, the artist has cut out around 7000 newspaper photos in the last 10 years and has archived them in 100 categories. His exhibition projects are chains of motives rich in associations, organised and individually deciphered by the observer. By multiplying and serially ordering, new shifts of value and significance occur and the ideal of the absolute picture is annulled.
