The erotic photographs of Claude Fauville have with what we generally connect with act photography, to do few. His platinum palladium print practices to baroque and rococo, celebrates not the nakedness, but the art of exposing with refinement. In order to realize this close connection to the baroque, the photographer creates a new image space, connected with the fusion of body and his environment. The special meaning is with the platinum palladium prints that their tonality and colour pictorial and graphic techniques stand more near, as the photography with their precision and smooth surface. Claude Fauville looks not for innovation, but deliberates themselves the tradition. With the fact is its innovation that he does this completely naturally, without wanting to explain this with a concept. Claude Fauville does not come as a photographer his pictures to produce, however he does not produce thereby the picture tradition in the sense of a conceptional beginning. He follows this tradition there his fascinated, internal conditions such as ecstasy, dreamingness and sexual excitation in the body arrangement expression find. Erotic at the outward one fastens itself and creates thus a resaying in the conception between the two techniques used by his black-and-white pictures, however his prints are aligned platinum palladium to it, erotic as internal condition to hold and to communicate by means of the language of the body.
