While the three figures look like they are floating, in reality they were lying on photographic paper exposed to lamplight. No camera was involved in this process. This is how Neusüss created the black silhouettes on a white background. He made these ‘Körperbilder’ as of the 1960s. In this case, Neusüss personally reproduced these three life-size photograms in a smaller format.
