Live and act

Peter Liedtke studied until 1990 at the University of Essen University, formerly Folkwang School to Major in Communication Design . In 1986 he received the sponsorship award from the city of Gelsenkirchen and began working as a freelance photo journalist with a focus on social reporting, in particular for church media. He was represented by the Essen photo agency foto-present. As a representative of author photography, the medium of photography was increasingly used for him in the years to come to achieve educational, socially critical and political effects. From 1989 he accompanied the profound changes in the region between the Ruhr and Emscher as a photographer. It was here that he became the key image giver of the Emscher Park International Building Exhibition . In particular, the images of industrial nature are shaped by him. "Peter Liedtke develops a visual language that enables us to perceive the value and the beauty of this landscape and to understand the development process of the Emscher Park as the development of an unmistakable landscape of industrial culture in Europe."

From 1993 he developed various photo and network projects. From 1996 to 2008 he was a member of the studio community ICONOS in Essen with Deimel + Wittmar, Norbert Enker and Knut Wolfgang Maron . Since 2003 he has been giving lectures and writing on various topics in Ruhr area photography. In 2005 he was appointed to the German Werkbund . Since 2008 he has curated and organized various photo exhibitions. In 2009 he was appointed to the German Society for Photography . From 2009 until it closed in 2016, he was the editor and gallery owner of Galerie Hundert. The name of the gallery was derived from the fact that the photographs were each made in a limited edition of 100 + 1 pieces. In 2010 he founded the Gelsenkirchen gallery mile as an amalgamation of galleries and studios in the Gelsenkirchen district of Ückendorf . In 2013, the Ückendorf creative quarter developed from this. Since 2012 he has been editor of the blog ruhr.speak, a dialogue platform for photography and urbanity in the Ruhr area.

He has lived in Herne since 1989 and has been working in Gelsenkirchen since 2008 .
