Pete Turner - Attilio Colombo (1984)

About

"The elements that appear in Pete Turner's photography are almost always of a basic stylized form. The picture is always constructed by bringing together very few elements. His surreal worlds - enormous moons lowering over ice structures, geometric solids fluctuating between the clouds of a dark sky, disquieting universes of science fantasy - do not seek a particular logic. The photographer treats them as absurd stereotypes, the inventing of which always plays on the subconscious. In his latest works especially - a universe of rigorously stylized shapes and volumes, which turns the traditional vision of the world upside down - there is a risk of falling into a spectacular kind of superficiality. Throughout this book Pete Turner you witness how he sidesteps the risk, setting before us pictures that are diverting, disconcerting and always well done..."
