In the summer of 2002, The Photographers'
Gallery in London presented a 20 year survey exhibition of
Peter Fraser's work.
The accompanying book, 'PETER FRASER' comprises
76 colour plates and a text by Jeremy Millar looking at the
development of Fraser's work, and its place within contemporary
photography.
From 'Detour and Access' by Jeremy Millar:
'Over nearly twenty
years, Peter Fraser has established himself as one of Britain's
most influential photographers. One of the first in this country
to recognise and embrace the poetic possibilities of colour
photography, Fraser has created an extraordinary body of work
whilst looking, most often, at the most ordinary of things.'
In describing his practice
over this period, Fraser has remarked: "With each series of
photographs I choose a different strategy to approach the
same underlying preoccupation, which is, essentially, trying
to understand what the world around me is made of, through
the act of photographing it ".
