Born in Colorado in 1966 and established in Singapore, Peter Steinhauer reflects through his photographs his interest in urban themes and also a fascination with Asia, the continent where he has lived for over twenty years, capturing the different realities of cities in Vietnam, Indonesia or India. Under the title Cocoons, the artist devotes two series to the urban landscape of Hong Kong, where colossal buildings under construction, covered with bamboo scaffolding, are protected and wrapped with brightly colored fabrics, generating suggestive images – evocative of the works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude –, that are already part of the common heritage of the Hong Kong people.
