Florian Hetz‘s photography invites viewers into an exploration of memory, desire, and queerness through a captivating display of almost painterly images. Having experienced memory loss due to encephalitis, Hetz found solace in photography as a way to map and navigate his life. 

He skillfully blurs the lines between reality and imagination, presenting tender and sensual depictions that challenge societal norms and offer a glimpse into hidden desires. With a focus on sensuality and tactility, Hetz’s subjects evoke a rich sensory experience for the viewers, urging them to engage deeply with the themes of the exhibition. Each photograph forms a part of a greater narrative, inviting audiences to delve into a thought-provoking journey of self-discovery and cultural memory.

Unusual Experiences is currently on view at Everyday Gallery.
