MEN DEFINED

Sinopsis del producto

A master of close-ups, Vera Friederich works indepth, movinginto the surface of the body, its texture, revealing the manin his entirety, yet in detail: the chest, back, buttocks and groin become landscapes. Enticing the viewer into the shadows, Friederich plays with what is not actually visible.The secret of her art is, not least, attributable to the sophistication of her light direction. Light is what gives the body contour, shaping it into the sculpture it becomes; cleverly devised contrasts are used to render soft and flowing outlines. Figures step out from the depths of magical shadows to make their appearance, only to retreat again. The body as a mystery and the result of hours of study and observation. Vera Friederich´s photographs show the naked man without rendering him bare. They are sexy and,at the same time, discreet. They seek intimacy but are neveroffensive. The imagination is allowed to take its course, for as Vera Friederich maintains, the truly erotic picture lies in the eye of the beholder.
