As a photographic artist, his practice exists at the threshold between environmental documentation and perceptual exploration. What began as a creative effort to inspire conscientious engagement with our surroundings has evolved into a deeper investigation of how reality and perception intertwine in our experience of place. Petersen’s work examines how what we ‘see’ is not merely the objective scene before us, but a layered interplay of memory, expectation, and emotion. he captures landscapes and moments that feel both familiar and disorienting, evoking a sense of déjà vu that challenges conventional perception and invites viewers to reinterpret these spaces through their own context. Guided more by intuition than calculation, he follows instinctive pathways—whether wandering through urban streets, rural landscapes, or coastal environments—emphasizing the emotional resonance of place. His process relies on in-camera techniques to construct narratives that hover between documented reality and subjective interpretation. In the end, his photographs invite open-ended dialogue: while each image begins from his context, the images themselves aren’t fixed — they transform through each viewer’s own memory and experiences? This interplay between subject and viewer perception transforms each photograph into a unique, personal experience.
