Petra van Husen – Photography

Crowd in the main concourse of Grand Central Terminal, the figures overlapping; the clock above the information booth at the centre.

Long corridor with flaking pale paint and wooden floorboards, several door frames one behind the other, a bright room at the end; the layers overlap.

Sepia-toned image of a machine labelled “2p Play”, with more machines blurred behind it, backlit.

Pale beach under a cloudy sky, people scattered in the shallow water and along the shore, some of them translucent and overlapping.

Forest in yellow and green tones, slender dark trunks against bright foliage, several trunks overlapping.

Wide square in very bright light, the sky almost white, blurred figures of passers-by, arcaded buildings left and right, a column in the middle.

Staircase with flaking white paint, balusters in the foreground, bare brown wood showing on the steps at right.

Pale translucent strips fluttering on a barbed-wire fence, dark mountains and an overcast sky behind.

Black silhouettes of several people in front of a brightly lit display case showing a landscape with animals; one person is taking a photo with a phone.

Two blurred figures in black clothing face each other against a white ground, their hands touching at the right edge.

Every one of my works is an invitation to see the familiar with new eyes.

01 — movements

02 — a kind of story

A woman in a long black dress, seen from behind, walks along a path with a dog; both are blurred by motion.
