In his pictures he refers not only to the legacy of the Yoruba culture, rather he also reflects in the bodies and faces as well as the postures of his subjects the cultural, ethnic and racial interminglings of the native population. The photographs reveal an energy that is today still strongly rooted in myth. They are the staged expression of a state of mind informed by religious experience. The exotic qualities of the Afro-Brazilian culture, the magic of tribal shamanism and the baroque sensibility of Portuguese culture all melt into unity in his pictures. An exchange of powers takes place between living and nonliving matter, body and soul exist in a constant state of tension and continuing interplay between the erotic and the spiritual.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=163137 Peter Gassers vocation is photography and it has come late in life. He is a self-educated man, although he was already 30 years old when he started on his new path. For the last 7 years he has followed this path, taking endless photographs. He feels how the camera has changed his life - how he has begun seeing instead of looking. Gassers pictures captivate through their polish and balance. Often they show a focus and brilliance which brings ever new detail to the observer: pictures of landscapes filled with beauty and others filled with ugliness, contact with people whose calmness concern us, impressions of the venetian kaleidoscope. With this volume, he is looking back on 15 years of productive artistic work as a photographer.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=237381 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=295097
