 Peter Piller

* 1968. Piller built up a comprehensive collection of found photographic footage. His «Peter Piller Archive» includes over 6,000 photographs. A large portion of these images originate from local newspapers, with aerial shots of family houses and historic photo-postcards also focal points of the collection. Only a peripheral importance is attached to where the images were found and what they depict: «Auto berühren» (Touch Car), «Stein des Anstoßes» (The Rock of Impact), «Durchsucht und Versiegelt (Tatorthäuser)»[Searched and Sealed-Off (Houses the Scenes of Crimes] are a few of the titles of his eight volumes to date, published by Revolver Verlag, each devoted a different collection. Piller also produces his own photo-series, originating from hikes on the urban periphery and «Bürozeichnungen» (office sketches).
