This artwork features a surreal and unsettling composition: a figure lies face-down on a stark white mattress, arms and legs extended in a cruciform position. The figure is clad entirely in black, contrasting sharply with the pristine, geometric form of the mattress. The obscured face and long hair evoke a sense of anonymity, mystery, and loss of identity, while the minimalistic black and white palette heightens the emotional tension. The title Attraktiver Attraktor (Attractive Attractor) hints at themes of duality, attraction, and contradiction, core concepts in Klauke’s exploration of the human condition and existential isolation. The photograph challenges conventional depictions of the body, space, and psychological states, consistent with the artist’s provocative, conceptual practice.
