Jürgen Klauke

Physiognomien

Distorting Identity


Jürgen Klauke (b. 1943; lives and works in Cologne) ranks among the foremost German performance, photography, and media artists. This groundbreaking artistic oeuvre explores — with relish and provocation — the transformative character of identities and the aesthetic dimensions of our existence. 

Klauke's book Instant Images presents the entire collection of his polaroids for the first time. In conjunction with the book the etching Physiognomien is released, bringing together three selected polaroids from the series on a single sheet.
