Bio
Peter Keetman occupies a central place in post-war German photography. As the title of the retrospective from 2016 "Shaping the World" expresses, his work brings together two central currents of contemporary photography. On the one hand the modernist will to form, design, experiment and abstraction, on the other hand a humanistic reference to the world and a turn towards reconstruction, to the city, to nature. Two currents that merge smoothly in Keetman's work.

Keetman's photography and biography are also inseparably linked to German history and the Second World War, from which Keetman returns as an invalid. At the end of the 1940s, Keetman was one of the young savages of the fotoform group who, inspired by pre-war avant-garde experiments, wanted to develop a new language of photography based on formal reduction, the creative power of light and the subjectivity of individual world experience. Together with Otto Steinert and the other members of fotoform, Peter Keetman stands for the new dawn of photography.

Peter Keetman escapes all formalism by working in many fields of photography - capturing the reconstruction of Munich, working with the hidden structures of landscape and natural appearance, discovering in the smallest details the reflection of the big picture and translating the dynamics of the economic miracle era into abstract images. Particularly noteworthy are his series at the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg in 1953 and Keetman's magnificent "Schwingungen" - his bold signature in the history book of experimental photography. At the same time, the exciting intermeshing of free photography and applied commission allows us to discover a central figure of post-war photography in its many facets.
