Teaching at the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts

1971
Paris photographs under LSD
In 1971 Polke photographed Paris and printed the pictures with chemical staining while under the influence of LSD, creating works full of “strange presences”; with them began his use of the photographic process to alter “reality” — creased and folded wet paper, negatives combined with positives.
