History: This very unique image is one of the results of the famous
group photo shoot “Factory Boyz”. After weeks of intense preparations,
on June 21st 1997 in Cologne, twenty-eight amateur models were ready to
pose in the nude in an abandoned factory near the river Rhine. A single
figure's perfection was not the main motivation for this unusual staging
but the graphic installation of body & building.
Literature: One year later, this very photograph was chosen to be
featured in the international coffee table compilation book "NAKED MEN". Subtitle: A Celebration Of The Male Nude From Ninty Of The World's
Greatest Photographers. Publishers: Thunder Mouth Press, New York with
Quarto Publications, London. 198 pages, Hardcover, English text, ISBN
1-85242-689-6.
