Streuli Beat, *1957 (Altdorf, Switzerland) Lives in Düsseldorf, works with photography and video. Tokyo Shibuya,1997 C-print, series of 5 photographs, 151 x 201 cm © Beat Streuli In contrast to American "street photography", Beat Streuli does not try to find a spectacular picture, but prefers totally ordinary, everyday scenes. Taken from the point of view of a voyeur, his large-format photographs of anonymous passers-by stand out because of their delightful clour contrasts and because they are often characterised by a relaxed mood that conveys a positive picture of the multicultural society in large cities. |
