CLAIR Gallery presents « Shuteye » by Oliver Mark
Stanley Kubrick called his last film EYES WIDE SHUT (1999) a game of deception between illusion and reality, a sort of mantling and dismantling based on Schnitzler's "Dream Story".

Since the late 1950s, Floris Neusüss (born 1937 in Lennep) has explored photography’s potential beyond its simple portrayal of the world around us. His photos achieve their impact thanks to the tension between the candor of the camera and the potential for surrealist interpretation. Neusüss blends keen consciousness of the technical and historical constraints of photography with a lyrical, even a dreamlike, eye. |
