Peter Berzanskis

Peter uses photography and digital manipulation to explore modern urban landscapes, blurring the lines between realism and surrealism. His work delves into the juxtaposition of utopian lightness and dystopian darkness, presenting familiar spaces with an unsettling twist. Each piece invites viewers to reconsider the allure of seemingly ordinary environments.

Birch trees

abstractions & constructions

July 2024

This series of images captures the natural beauty of birch trees through minimalist and striking compositions.

The initial set are inspired by the Lithuanian word Beržai for Birch Tree, and the iconic opening credits of Dr. Zhivago with renowned Chilean artist José Basso and his ethereal and serene landscapes also an influence. Other images are in stark black and white simple, clean compositions that focus on the natural elegance and unique patterns of the trees.

Flinders Escape

May 2024

450 kilometers supported cycling tour around the Ikara Flinders Ranges, South Australia.

While I don’t consider myslef to be a landscape photographer, I knew that while I was on the tour I’d want to be capturing the scenery.

This is a selection of what I saw.

Thresholds
Test Sites 2023

Since 2016, the City of Melbourne’s Test Sites Program has supported artists to explore and experiment with temporary creative ideas in the public realm.

Thresholds seeks to arrest and perplex pedestrians semiconsciously transiting through liminal spaces, taking them out of their train of thought to stop, do a double take, and imaginatively engage with the space for a moment.

monumentas

monumentas captures patterns, colours and the designs of modern buildings and spaces in a bold and striking way that stands out from traditional photography.

By abstracting the perspective of these structures, it allows viewers to perceive the world around them with fresh eyes.

Utopia

Built environment is stripped of context. Structures have no discernible purpose or entry points. Signs are absent or incongruous. Paths lead nowhere.
