Peter Piller was born in Fritzlar in 1968. He studied German language and literature and trained as a visual artist. His archives to date have been published in eight volumes by Revolver Verlag (Frankfurt am Main), which also published the series of aerial photos Von Erde schoener. Piller was awarded the Ars Viva Prize 2004 and received the Rubens Prize from the City of Siegen. Alongside his work drawn from photo archives, the exhibition at Witte de With presents a series of ‘office drawings’ under the title Vorzuege der Abschichtslosigkeit and a report on a work in progress in the Municipality of Hellendoorn-Nijverdal, the Netherlands. The first part of a series of smaller publications with the title Archiv Peter Piller Materialien (A) Dauerhaftigkeit/Duurzaamheid is being published to coincide with this exhibition.
