". . . here the female body is not a lust object, but rather a lust subject. Women, men, couples: The photographs have a unique dramatic intensity, they don't tell stories, what they show is the moment, it's about the image, not the story. The secret of the images consist of a hard-to-define mixture of distance and closeness. They seduce us, they grabour feelings, they indulge the narcissistic exhibitionism that is prematurely taken as obscenity. They rebel against social mores, and this is what makes them so secretive, so sensual, so erotic."
Quote from the foreword by Helmut Ortner in Norbert Guthier's bibliophile photography book "Bodytransfer".
