AAP-LAB: THE SILVER HANDS OF PETER SVENSON
November 27, 2010 / February 27, 2011
Huis Marseille pays tribute to analog photography by dedicating an
exhibition to the character and work of master printer Peter Svenson of
Aap-Lab. For more than thirty years, Svenson has been a mainstay to
famous photographers as well as some who have just begun their careers.
In his hands their photographs become more than nice pictures: they
become works of art. Over the past ten years, most amateurs and
professional photographers have given up the roll of film and switched
to megapixels. Nevertheless, a remarkable international development is
on the rise, as many photographers, who carry out their professional
work digitally, have chosen to do more personal work on film due to the
craft and the unexpected aspects that it involves. Although the computer
offers unlimited possibilities for the perfection of a photograph, many
photographers prefer instead to seek the limits of the medium. Within
that process Peter Svenson can be a crucial link. He interprets the
image in his own way, and the resulting dialogue with the photographer
almost always leads to an authentic, transparent and complex image.
