Specialist note

The work of Floris Neusüss, who has explored camera-less photography since the 1960s, might be described as the vital link between William Henry Fox Talbot's 'Photogenic drawings', the photograms of Man Ray and Moholy-Nagy and contemporary practitioners of this primordial aspect of the photographic medium.
