Peter Land

Peter Land used be known for stripe dancing videos and performing art -  now he is know for his most famous piece which is of a young with a water foundation with flowing water out of her mouth. Things like this not only make me wonder but the people around us of how much back story or examination is necessary for the enjoyment of a single piece. Peter is a Danish artist and is well known for his humorous and self-ironic work. Peter works between video, photo, performances and installation works- but also the more traditional work of drawing, and oil paint.

Snapshot -  When looking at the full view of this monument i took a "double take" because i wasn't sure if the little girl was balanced on the rocks or maybe what cause my eye was the background that pulled me in and that is when it connected that this piece was really a "snapshot"

Untitled - This installation is of a older man laying in bed and it shows that his arms and legs are extremely large and go past the bed. He is too big for the bed -  It's like trying to put a shoe on that is too small -  its just going to be uncomfortable.

Playground - This installation is of a young girl and a young boy playing i the playground and is passing the ball back and forth. There is a white picket fence that is surrounding them.


Conclusion-  I liked peters work because he had a wide variety of work -  and i liked his sculpted ones because they were real like "snapshot" or more of them where and he took those photo's studied them and then made a life six replica of that. There was not really a lot of information on this works so i couldn't really get the background and inspiration that he had on his work - so therefore i couldn't write as much as i could.
