Photographer: Peter Preller (b. 1940). Herbert Tobias. 1975. 2 unique Polaroid color prints. Each 11 x 9 cm.

Herbert Tobias is known for his psychologically charged portraits of figures from postwar Germany's artistic and queer circles. His work often explores identity and performance through carefully staged images. Taken at Studio Peter Preller in Hamburg, these two Polaroids place Tobias himself before the camera: in one he appears casually dressed in a relaxed setting, and in the other, heavily made up as Marlene Dietrich.
