invited guest: Peter de Ru (part two)

Rotterdam Maas River



Tank cleaning. Pause.

Peter de Ru´s pictures from the port of Rotterdam, are captured on three
different occasions 1979, 1994 and 2006. I am impressed by how Peter finds
the people, the workers, the bargirls in a place with such huge dimensions
, with
so much tonnage being loaded and unloaded.


Right now Peter de Ru is working on a documentation of the beautiful Villa San
Michele in Capri, Italy. He is also working on a new book that we hope to hear

more about at the F Blog later on.


Peter has a long experience of exhibiting his work. Let me just mention
his
participation at the Spring Salon which is a featured event at
Liljevalchs Konstmuseum in Stockholm. The same year (2000) Peter de Ru
also exhibited
his work at Galleri Maneten in Gothenburg.

Very nice series. Especially "Animal food in Botlek" which seems so surrreal to me. It almost looks as something from another world.
And if it is people climbing around in the animal food, it looks extreamly harsardous to me with thoughts to the suckingpower of the macinery.
