Jurgen Klauke (b. 1943, Germany) is a pioneering figure in contemporary European photography and performance art. Known for his experimental work exploring identity, the human body, and gender, Klauke challenged traditional notions of portraiture and self representation from the 1960s onward. His work has been highly influential in shaping the dialogue around body art, conceptual photography, and avant garde visual culture.

Phantom Sensation / Phantomempfindung presents a comprehensive overview of Klauke’s career, capturing his provocative performances, photographic experiments, and conceptual pieces. Richly illustrated across 254 pages, the catalogue combines striking imagery with critical essays, situating Klauke as a central figure in contemporary art.
