Outposts
Peter de Rus fotografier är gränspålar som anger ett koordinatsystem för det som existentialisterna vågade kalla människans villkor; för vad Heidegger gav namnet Geworfenheit, att vi är inkastade i en given situation. Tydliga som sjömärken utstakar bilderna yttersta gränser, inte i det exhibitionistiskt extrema utan i vardagen. Och vardagen utspelar sig i olika sociala situationer och system. Så skriver konstkritikern och professorn Peter Cornell i förordet till Outposts. Ett flertal fotografiska projekt ingår i denna bok, där en betydande del av bildmaterialet utgörs av hamnen i Rotterdam. Drygt trettiotusen fartyg besöker Porten till Europa under ett år, en kosmopolitisk arbetsstyrka skildras genom bilder av arbete och den speciella livsmiljö som en hamn utgör. Här finns ett fotoreportage från Union Carbides urananrikningsanläggning i Kentucky i USA som skildrar den strålningsskadade arbetaren Joe Hardings sista timmar i livet; ögonblicksbilder från Karolinska Sjukhusets avdelning för barn med cancer och blodsjukdomar; Bruno K. Öijer på poesiturné under tidigt åttiotal. Sammantaget bildar dessa nedslag i Peter de Rus mångåriga karriär en mosaik av livsöden, ofrånkomligt drabbande i sin beröringskraft och allmängiltiga för den mänskliga erfarenheten. Om författaren Peter de Ru föddes 1946 i Nederländerna och kom till Sverige 1969. Han utbildade sig under 1971-74 på Christer Strömholms fotoskola i Stockholm och har sedan dess varit verksam som frilansfotograf i vecko- och dagspress.
