Peter Zimmerman is inspired by this digital development and methods of distribution. He has archived images from the Internet or from magazines, books, and catalogues since 90s, categorizing and organizing them under the rubrics of Architecture, Cover, Sculpture, Typography, Geometry, Ornamentation, TV etc. This grouping presents the artist’s interest areas while giving clues about the deepest, invisible layers of abstract compositions.
