1996

The photographic work of Klaus Kampert is an uninterrupted dialogue between light and the naked bodies of his models, perceived as an infinite repertoire of forms and expressions. In a setting often reduced to the essential, the artist does not cease to explore the images and emotions that might emerge from this dialogue. With his perfect mastery of the light and the collaboration of classical dancers capable of expressing the full range of emotions through their movements, over the years Klaus Kampert has developed a style whose aim seems to be to capture the very essence of our humanity. “My photography approaches the nudity of bodies as a way to get closer to the spirit and emotions of the human being, through body language. The body is the envelope of the soul: it is both the shelter and the interpreter, the ‘teller’.”
