Sigma Artist Talk: Anders Petersen
Sigma are inviting to a series of Artist talks during the exhibition period for 15 Fotografiska Years
Sigma invites you to an afternoon with photographer Anders Petersen. An icon in Swedish photography, known for his intense and intimate portrayals of people and environments. A conversation with designer and art director Greger Ulf Nilson.
Anders Petersen's gaze is the one seen through the camera lens. He meets his fellow human beings with an atmosphere of permissive curiosity and manages to capture the moment in a millisecond. A moment that confirms to us that we are connected, that there are bonds between us humans that we may not be able to explain scientifically. But which we all sense, and recognize when someone manages to capture this connection in a photograph.

As part of a sincere devotion to photographic art, Sigma are inviting to a series of Artist talks during the exhibition period for 15 Fotografiska Years. This is a unique opportunity to meet four photographers, each with their own distinctive expression and story. The talks will bring us closer to their images and the creative processes behind them.
