“One of the most impressive artbooks of the past years, with the least degree of compromise.” (Junge Welt)

Exceptional erotic scenarios. Highly sensitive, emotional and staged without compromising to mainstream aesthetics. Intense pictures, very moving and very radical.

Wesen der Verführung – Nature of Seduction
ca. 140 photographs (black & white and color) and texts, DM 29,80
Tender as well as extreme pictures of women, men, lesbian, heterosexual and gay couples. Seduction is not visible in perfect bodies and pictures, but in short moments that seem almost of a private nature.
“Bodies that seem to act themselves, faces that are caught in a desire for themselves or for the person in front of them. Seductions to kiss, to touch, to have sex. Men and women, that give themselves away to desire …” (Schlagzeilen)

Zungenpflug (Tongue Plow), Verbundenheit (Closeness), Instinktverlust (Loss of instincts), Sporen/Binumb (Spores/Binumb), Trost (Comfort)
“Between Sex-in-the-ghost-train-trashmoviemusic and actually dubious and threatening sounding synthesizer sounds, Subito develops … suggestive excitement and thrill. With a loud heartbeat and a strange feeling in my stomach completely different pictures suddenly appear before my eyes: my own pictures, my obsessions – which is a form of freedom …” (Bad Alchemy III)
