Floris Neusüss (born 1937)
Untitled, Munich, 1958
Neusüss made this image while still at art school. It is an early example of his experiments with photographic manipulation that have become his trademark. In this photograph, he uses double-exposures and montages of negatives to alter the depiction of reality and create a dream-like, multi-layered image.
