On the occasion of his 100th birthday, the photographic life’s work of Peter Keetman (1916–2005) can be rediscovered in this comprehensive retrospective. His work holds a central place in the photographic modernism of postwar Germany. As the exhibition title “Gestaltete Welt” (Designed World) expresses, it unites two central currents of those years: on the one hand the modernist will to form, design, experiment and abstraction, on the other a humanist relation to the world and a turn to reconstruction, the city and nature, down to their elementary building blocks.
