Lehndorff & Trülzsch developed an oeuvre of remarkably innovative staged photographs of body paintings — a synthesis of painting, photography, and performance — during an intensively creative period from the 1970s to the late 1980s. In The Seen and the Unseen, Lehndorff & Trülzsch approach their artistic work from a new angle by interweaving the images of their work series, the facsimiled archive material (such as essays by Susan Sontag and Gary Indiana), contributions by critics Richard Milazzo and Jörg Scheller as well as contextual explanations and reference images. The book retraces the evolution of gender identities and the treatment of the female body against the backdrop of history and contemporary art in the second half of the twentieth century.
