Peter Wiklund

In this episode of Biblioscapes In Discussion, I am joined by Peter Wiklund to discuss his work and his book Angelen.

 
 
 
 

The sculptures that have captivated me all contain some form of spirituality. A natural and important – but often overlooked – aspect of life. When I’ve approached them, I have used an exploratory method, where I intuitively look for the parts, angles and lighting that illustrate and emphasize the spirituality.

I extract a piece of the sculpture and its surroundings and turn it into an image. Not a mere representation.

 
 
 
 

We also discussed a selection of Peter’s favourite photobooks from his own bookshelf…

  • Listening to Cement… Robert Stivers

  • Infinito… David Jimenez

  • Opening… Jungjin Lee

  • Within this Garden… Ruth Thorne-Thomsen

You can see more of Peter’s work on his website and find him on Instagram.
