Photojournalist and photo artist Peter Granser’s images seem absurd, ironical and comical at the same time. For the picture series “Sun City” he portrayed wealthy senior citizens in the pensioner`s paradise of Sun City, the largest community of senior citizens in the US. Granser received one of the renowned World Press Awards 2002 and the Arles Discovery Award 2002 for “Sun City”.

Israel Museum, Jerusalem.
Inspired by residencies in China and Japan, Granser founded project space ITO in 2015. He experiments there with unusual exhibition formats and with topics such as time, emptiness, nature and consciousness. These are also the themes that have been the focus of Granser’s personal projects of the past several years. At ITO ( Japanese for thread ) he connects contemporary art with Japanese and Taiwansese tea and enables guests to concentrate on the moment while leaving room for communication.
