Give my Regards to Elizabeth is a record of Peter Bialobrzeski’s time in England in the early 1990’s, when he finished his studies at the Folkwang School, Essen with a one year DAAD stipend at the London College of Communication. The publication is his diploma work, made in two handbound, then still completely analogue made dummy books. Now, 27 years later the book is published as an almost facsimile version of the original layout.

In No Buddha in Suburbia Peter Bialobrzeski returns to Asia, for his new photographical case study in urbanism and humanity. After his last major series ‟Die zweite Heimat” on his native Germany (with a touring exhibition and sold out book) he followed an invitation of the Goethe Institute to Mumbai. Mumbai’s Suburbia counts as one of the largest urban sprawls on the planet and in contrary to the western notion of the word, it is a dystopian environment. The overpopulated streets are lined with an eclectic mix of derelict buildings, high rises, slums and huge billboards. The population density is 22.000 people/km²! In the pictures for this series Peter Bialobrzeski tries to condense these highly intense and complex impressions in impressive tableaus that are presented in this publication for the first time.

Peter Bialobrzeski turns his gaze on the city of Osaka, the traditional economic hub of Japan, and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world with more than 20 million inhabitants. Capturing its wide boulevards and hidden back-alleys, Bialobrzeski’s images reveal a city in constant flux. Osaka Diary was shot between 17 – 23 August 2015 and is the 10th instalment in the City Diary series.

"It's paradise now but, as the title implies, it will shortly be Paradise Lost. And, as in John Milton's Biblical tale, the loss will be because of human fallibility. It's an interesting idea and it's, largely, impeccably executed. "

Bialobrzeski cites both Caspar David Friederich and Joel Sternfeld as influences for hie series of massively scaled landscape photographs, and he strikes an ideal balance between romanticism and realism. His subject is HEIMAT, a nostalgic notion of the German homeland, which was tainted by the Nazis. Bialobrzeski attempts to rescue it from kitsch and xenophobia in these broad, low slung and shamelessly beautiful vistas of snowy mountains, verdant hills, and busy beaches. People, often quite tiny, are visible in all these spaces , and their humble presence gives an abstract idea a spark of soul."

"The urban centers in Mr. Bialobrzeski's pictures flow together into a single fictional city more real than reality, for cities are no longer singular places but nodes in the information network, ''not a place but a process,'' as Manuel Castells wrote in 1996 in ''The Rise of Network Society.'' The megacities of Southeast Asia exist in these images as a fantasy that makes no solid distinctions between Shanghai, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. Peter Bialobrzeski's photographs put a radiant, glamorous face on globalization and the invisible and powerful network that shapes our surroundings -- and virtually runs our lives." Vicki Goldberg, New York Times

"We roam across this district on the periphery, which embodies the most blatant symbol of social injustice. Here and there one sees a stray inhabitant of the sub-proletarian quarter, squatting on the sidewalk, dozing, or preparing meals, who no longer has a place in the urban cycle of exploitation.. Although this place is a living hell, awakening gloomy, infernal impressions in us, we cannot help but be fascinated by it." Peter Lindhorst

In his thought-provoking series, the artist takes photographs of these isolated structures, often in the evening hours, when the brightly lit windows convey a sense of the domestic comfort these homes have for their owners despite all of the cracks in the walls. Following the publication of Case Study Homes and Informal Arrangements, this striking series, which completes the Habitat trilogy, also asks the viewer uncomfortable questions and forcefully underscores the fundamental right of every human being to a home and a feeling of security.

“Bialobrzeski is our witness to social injustice, aspirations and futility. Again, his depictions of Africa are not without hope. He acts as our eyes, zooming in on details of a home where hope remains, a home decorated with love and pride, as comfortable as it is in the inhabitant's power to make it.” EYEMAZING
