| Gallery label | Petersen moved to London aged 17 and became part of the ‘free party’ scene that exploded in the 1990s. She recorded her experiences with a community that travelled across Europe, transporting powerful sound systems and staging illegal raves. Petersen and her friends often attended protests in response to the political backlash against their way of living. Here, she captures a girl frenetically running away from burning cars.
