"Sun City" by Austrian photographer Peter Granser (b. 1971) is a series about a retirement community in Arizona, where residents must be over 55 to live there. In this strange town, numerous whimsical details inspired the photographer, who would go on to establish a new perspective and a style that he would develop in his subsequent projects. Here, he takes wrinkles, cacti, hair dryer hoods, and plastic flamingos and constructs a story that is fundamentally true and only slightly exaggerated about the future of aging.
In Sun City, being a senior doesn’t mean sitting in a rocking chair on the porch, looking back on the past, and gradually bidding farewell to life. Quite the contrary: Granser’s story is filled with 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 rather than cynicism.
