Peter Martens - American Testimony

0 - Default Title
Description
When Peter Martens explored American in the beginning of the 1970s, it became his domain. There he found subjects on a large scale that obsessed him as a photojournalist: the everyday war in the street, the news that is not news, but daily reality for countless people. American life, Marten indicated, could be just as ruthless as living in dictatorships or developing countries. The central figure in his universe is that of an individual lying prostrate in the midst of his fellow men, whether praying, crippled, begging, morally broken or even murdered. This is contrasted with ambiguous figures of strength, power and authority – police, the military or the church – representing both guidance and oppression, dominance and support.
