When encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain, put an abrupt end to his career producing opera and dance, German artist Florian Hetz started a visual diary to stave off memory loss, starting his career as a photographer.
Haut (skin in German) is a deeply tactile series, offering a sense of touch, intimacy, and evoking a deep sensuality. Close crops and contorted bodies create a playfully visceral series of images to awaken our imaginations.
Displayed around the Coles Fountain in Parliament Gardens, the subtle details of skin in these images are emphasised by the fountain’s spray and the large scale of the prints. The result is intimate and ethereal.
Curated by Photo Australia
Florian Hetz lives and works in Berlin.
He will take part in the talk: The Body: Personal, Political and Performative
on 17. May at ACMI.
