Unit F büro für mode presents approx. 50 collaborative works by the stylist Natascha Hochenegg and the photographer Lisa Holzer. The photographs show imperfections and trivialities. From a female perspective, they deal with issues such as vulnerability, strength, sexuality, reality, destruction and banality.

Lisa Holzer and Natascha Hochenegg have been collaborating on various projects since 1997. With these photographs they wanted to make a clear statement on photography and fashion, without having to adhere to the restrictions of market-oriented conditions. Most of the photos were made during the past few months. In these photos, Natascha Hochenegg herself is being portrayed, thus putting the focus of the works on the mutual exchange between the two women. The collaboration was intensive but it also created space for individual development and experiment.
