DescriptionAbstract leaf and flower formseMuseum Notes
German artist Floris Neusüss has devoted much of his photographic career to working with the photogram process, in which objects are placed in direct contact with light-sensitive paper and then exposed to light to make a silhouetted image. He famously created a group of life-sized photogram portraits of human subjects, titled Körperfotogramms (body photograms). In this photograph, Neusüss manipulates unknown forms into a mysterious composition of exotic flora.
