Description of the Artwork “Tension of work - Art by Hein”
This striking series of photographs by Franz Hein deeply explores the relationship between work, cooperation and humanity. The recurring figures - two workers in white overalls and helmets with black faces and hands - stand in stark contrast to their clothing, creating a visual metaphor for the tension between external uniformity and internal effort. The series tells the story of the physical and psychological burden of work and the balance between individual identity and collective action, inviting the viewer to reflect on invisible connections in a world full of visible structures.

Franz Hein, Germany
My name is Franz Hein, born in 1965 in Ehrstädt, now Sinsheim, and I spent a lot of time there in my youth with my photographer grandfather. I currently live in the north of Germany near the Dutch border in the far west. Influenced by my grandfather, I came into contact with photography at a very early age and pursued it as a hobby for a long time, with technology and creative development improving as I got older. Over the years I've photographed a lot of things, but never really felt satisfied with my work. Since I taught myself photography, it made sense to study the works of various artists and art movements in photography. So I finally found my current passion for not only creating simple photographs, but I find myself and my works predominantly in conceptual black and white photography, which had its heyday in the 60s to the end of the 70s. The often very abstract features of my works reflect today's zeitgeist in a certain way. Some colorful abstract photographs also found their way into my online gallery, but the focus is on the monochrome design with contrasts as well as the play with light and shadow and the reduction to the essentials.
