AIKO is a visual diary which, being far more personal than his previously published books, raises Berlin photographer Florian Hetz’s art to a new level.

Touching insights into Florian Hetz’s innermost thoughts and feelings are translated into a particularly fascinating imagery. His keen eye for the unusual, which this time takes on completely new perspectives, as well as his very own, unique gaze on the male body are captivating. Hetz depicts its sexuality, its fears and obsessions, its shame and its lust.

He successfully captures the breathing-sculpture quality of the portrayed men without turning them into objects of voyeuristic or even pornographic desire. In AIKO, nude male bodies in various poses meet wilting tulip blossoms, flayed citrus fruits and shots of empty streets in Berlin, Vienna or Montreal. On this spectacular photographic journey, Florian Hetz invites the viewer to partake in what has perhaps been the most emotional year of his life.
