This book is the latest of Anders Petersen?s award-winning 'City diaries', the first three of which are now out of print. Throughout his career Petersen has traveled extensively and documented life beyond the margins of polite society, a shadowy world of pleasure and sin including prostitutes, transvestites, alcoholics, nighttime lovers and adult conflict. Through his candid, empathetic yet somewhat detached eye, he discloses difficult realities such as drug addiction with a sense of bewilderment and currency. 'City diary #4' shows Petersen?s ongoing photographic engagement with the gritty and beautiful in life as it unfolds before him.

Zoo is a wild ride through Anders Petersen’s oeuvre, a racy edit of his work that has animals as its central theme. Whether they be conscious portraits of animals or a haphazard photographic encounter with a woman’s legs in python-print tights, Petersen draws out the animal and animalistic in all that he sees. At a typical zoo we are the spectators, peering in on creatures as they go about their existence, mostly oblivious to our presence. Yet in Zoo we find ourselves both behind and before the bars of the cage—with Petersen as the delighted zookeeper.

Das Café Lehmitz, ein legendärer Treffpunkt am Ende der Reeperbahn in Hamburg, wird seit 1978 von dem schwedischen Fotografen Anders Petersen durch seine eindrucksvollen, zärtlich-rauen Fotografien verewigt. Das Buch, das nun in einer deutschen Neuauflage erscheint, wird von Tom Waits mit einem poetischen Vorwort gewürdigt, da er das ikonische Titelbild "Lilly und Rose" für sein Album "Rain Dogs" wählte. Diese Verbindung verleiht dem Werk eine besondere kulturelle Dimension und macht es zu einem einzigartigen Dokument der Milieu-Kneipenkultur.
