Abstract: Peter Martens (1937-1992), a legendary Dutch street photographer, left behind one of the most fearless photographic oeuvres of the last century. Until shortly before his death he worked on the composition of two books featuring the best of his complete works: 'Few Loving Voices' and 'American Testimony'. These two books are finally being published posthumously. Martens edited both publications in a sequence that leaves you dumbfounded and guessing for his reasons. His photography is a secret, not just this or that single image, but his entire body of work. It raises compelling questions about the world we live in.
