Athens Diary is the follow-up to 2014’s Cairo Diary and the 2nd in Peter Bialobrzeski’s City Diaries Series with The Velvet Cell. In Athens Diary Bialobrzeski travels to the scene of the biggest European crisis in decades to document the urban consequences of the emergency. His photos capture the dichotomy of everyday life in the city - a city on the edge, with areas resembling warzones but also a city strangely at ease with itself and the distress in which Greece finds itself.

Capturing Cairo between the overthrow of Morsi and Mubarak, Bialobrzeski’s images portray daily life in the Egyptian capital at a time of major urban, social and political upheaval and renewal. As silent and tranquil as they are anxious and tense, the images demonstrate Bialobrzeski’s ability to find beauty in chaos. The atmosphere is charged as we, the viewer, are left to contemplate what turn Cairo will take next.

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.

"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

“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

"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. "

"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

"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 New Yorker

Over a period of three years, the German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski made several journeys to India, where he visited religious sites and explored the mystique and the soul of the Indian subcontinent. Far from pretending to comprehend the complexities of Eastern religions, he creates a unique field of tensions in his photographs. While his works reflect the curiosity of the spiritual seeker who gazes in wonder upon the sacred shrines of India, daring to profess open admiration for their beauty, they also reveal an analytical distance that transforms the holy sites of India into a stage.
