description: Carli Hermes is one of the truly outstanding young talents in the field of contemporary fashion and nude photography. There is no place for either taboo or boredom in his world of imagery. It is bursting with dynamic motion, energy and thirst for life, and derives its power from a diverse range of stylistic resources and visual vocabularies. In these 110 photographs, we find the classical elegance of nudes and portraits in black-and-white alongside fresh and playful images in vivid colors, eccentric fantasies and dreamlike visions. Carli Hermes was one of the first photographers to experiment with computer manipulation, a stylistic tool he has used with astonishing skill in several of his works. His art has its epic side as well. Elements of cinematic narrative and photographic staging are found throughout his oeuvre. His photographs are profoundly erotic and highly communicative, and no viewer is left untouched or unmoved by their emotional, often confrontational style. "Carli Hermes' photography is an investigation of the sexual psyche, and the mystery of the tension between body and mind." -- Gerard Wessel, photographer
