AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Le Bistrot d’Hambourg – Anders Petersen (French edition) 1979

A bar in Hamburg which, for its decadent image, inspired the photographs of the Swedish photographer, to such an extent that this book became a real object of cult, a manifesto of the 1970s. Petersen began photographing Lehmitz not with the aim of pursuing a social inquiry, but simply by cultivating a diary-like approach to the people and events. Drugs, prostitution, cross-dressing and life outside the rules were the ingredients of the small world photographed by Anders Petersen, a precursor with Ed Van Der Elsken, of a photographic genre that, especially in the United States, would inspire the style of authors now internationally known as Nan Goldin or Larry Clark.
