Robert Heinecken

Studies #4
1970

A black and white photograph featuring a double exposure effect. The primary image shows a person in a crouched position wearing fishnet stockings, with their face obscured by their bent knee. The secondary overlay image is of the same person, now with their face visible and hands clasped near their cheek, creating a ghostly, mirrored appearance. The background includes patterned textiles, contributing to the photo's textured and layered aesthetic.
