Paradise Lost, - Karl Hammer
Paradise Lost is a variation on the theme "Memento Mori" (Remember that you have to die). This is made clear by the chosen location in the photograph and that the beautifully formed young man stares at a skull on the ground. The cloth underneath him is both white (innocence and purity) and purple (mourning) which leaves little to the imagination.

Marcel Salome about Karl Hammer
"As curator of Dreamscapes I'm always searching for new art and I happened upon the art photography of Karl Hammer. His artworks intrigue because of the atmosphere that he realizes in his work but also through their narrative qualities. The often beautiful male and female models distract you from hidden messages in the work that the viewer often doesn't capture on first viewing."
