Floris Neusüss

Floris Michael Neusüss is a pioneering German photographer and artist born in Lennep, Germany, widely recognized as one of the foremost practitioners and theorists of the photogram — a cameraless photographic technique in which objects are placed directly onto light-sensitive paper and exposed to light. Deeply influenced by the historical avant-garde experiments of László Moholy-Nagy, Man Ray, and Christian Schad, Neusüss elevated the photogram from a modernist curiosity into a sustained, rigorous artistic practice spanning decades. He studied at the Werkkunstschule in Wuppertal and later at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Berlin, where he absorbed both the technical and conceptual dimensions of photography as an art form.
