Abstract

Danish Cool. Keld Helmer-Petersen, Photography and the Photobook
Handout exhibition text in English and Chinese by Anne Elisabeth Toft, Curator

The exhibition Danish Cool. Keld Helmer-Petersen, Photography and the Photobook presents the ground-breaking work of late Danish photographer Keld Helmer-Petersen (1920-2013). It offers an exclusive insight into his artistic experiments with the media of photography and photobooks.
Focusing on his last work - the photobook Black Light from 2014 - the exhibition is built around Helmer-Petersen’s photographic book publications, the original versions of which are today rare collector’s items. In the exhibition the photobooks are put into perspective by a collection of Helmer-Petersen’s photographs, which are displayed as projections in a large format. Like the photobooks, these photographs, selected from five different photographic series, constitute a catalogue of Helmer Petersen’s artistic practice. The series illustrate different phases in Helmer-Petersen’s photographic oeuvre, and they comprise a number of recurring motifs in his photographs. The exhibition is explained in a text consisting of three short chapters, introducing the main themes of the exhibition.
