SUN CITY (Special Edition) - Peter Granser
Sun City by Austrian photographer Peter Granser (1971-) is a series about a retirement colony in Arizona, where you're only allowed to live if you're over 55. In this strange town, many whimsical details give inspiration to the photographer, who later asserts a new angle of approach and a style that he will develop in the rest of his projects. Here, he takes wrinkles, cacti, hairdryer hoods and plastic flamingos and constructs a fundamentally true and only slightly exaggerated story about the future of aging.
In Sun City, being a senior citizen doesn't mean sitting in a rocking chair on the porch, looking back at the past, gradually taking leave of life. Quite the contrary: Granser's story is populated by men and women who, without compromise or sentimentality, have radically reinvented themselves in their later years. Peter Granser approaches this strange world with a sense of wonder, not cynicism.
