Floris Michael Nesüss (3 March 1937 – 1 April 2020) was a German photographer.[1]

Biography

Nesüss studied photography at the Wuppertal School of Arts and Crafts in North Rhine-Westphalia before continuing at the Bavarian State Institute of Photography in Munich. He trained alongside photographer Heinz Hajek-Halke at the Berlin University of the Arts. In 1957, he began making photograms and photomontages.

In the 1970s, Nesüss made nudograms, silhouettes of nude photographs. He also founded the publisher Fotoforum in Cassel. In 1982 and 1985, Nesüss exhibited works which displayed the maladies of pollution, which aroused strong reactions. In the early 1980s, he exhibited Artificial Landscapes, chemical works of abstract art that resembles small buildings on a horizon.[2]

In 1986, he began designing nocturnal images, photographs taken outside at night. Through this work, Nesüss established himself as one of the leaders in experimental photography.[3]
