This portrait belongs to Andreas Fux’ exploration of the body as a site of vulnerability, ritual, and self-determined transformation. Photographed in Berlin in 2003, the work captures a serene yet confrontational moment: the sitter’s closed eyes and calm expression contrast with the geometric arrangement of needles across the face. Fux documents subcultural and queer identities with clarity and respect, revealing beauty in extremity and intimacy in performance. This print is the final remaining edition from a pair produced for Kunstsalon Berlin in 2008. The image was first published in Fux’ book Die süße Haut (2005).
Bio
Andreas Fux (born 1964 in Berlin) is a German photographer known for his precise, empathetic portraits of bodies marked by experience, desire, and self-expression. Since the late 1980s he has photographed the queer, tattoo, and body-modification communities of Berlin, developing a unique visual language that balances documentary realism with sculptural clarity. His work is included in numerous publications and exhibitions, and he remains an influential figure in Berlin’s photographic and subcultural landscape.
