Michele Pero

In the tradition of the family portrait Italian photographer Michele Pero developed a concept with a contemporary reference. In a fixed setting, Pero portrays citizens of Lüben in their Sunday clothes in front of their house. For the realization, the photographer uses the wet plate technique from 1851, the beginning of photography. The complex production process of a single image on a coated aluminum plate contrasts with the technical developments in digital photography and image processing. Thus the DIGNITY appears in the conceptual work approach, as well as the decelerated work process.
