Hans Gissinger is a photographer who is obsessed by perfection and esthetic exploration. He is passionate about the grotesque and the reality of his characters and protagonists, who often seem to be taken from the Comedia dell’arte. In his work, violence and contempt are perfectly balanced, and the highest plastic quality is maintained and idealized.
