Six years after his first book Northscape, which he dedicated to his native North, Thomas Klotz returns to one of his earliest obsessions: street photography and suburban landscapes, that characterize our contemporary times. With Periferia, he extends his field of exploration, taking us not only across different parts of France, but also the world.
From Dunkirk to Thiais, passing through Rotterdam, Dallas or even Mendoza, the photographer constructs a visual journey through territories that share the same status: peripheral, anonymous, and a seeming interchangeability.
Thomas Klotz deliberately avoids using traditional terms to designate those areas outside the centers -outskirts, zones, suburbs, residential neighbourhoods- to favor periferia, a term that feels more neutral. It allows him to escape from overly restrictive sociological or political interpretations.
