| Summary: | Longing, vulnerability, self-production and desire - all of this resonates with the atmospheric densities of Florian Geiss (* 1969 in Koblenz), a fascinating and at the same time irritating aura. In the photo book Gimme Shelter he staged the search for identity of the protagonists in the tension of the iconic American Way of Life and his own individuality. With their play of light and shadow and reduced, but concise colors, the work combines formal elements of a cineastic advertising aesthetic and the tradition of American color photography. Intimate portraits and expansive landscapes open up space for associations on issues of belonging and unconventionality, life dreams and reality. |
