A cult of all cult classics. The photographs in Libes Leben are of Irene, a secret star of Zurich’s Boh’me at that time, who worked as a prostitute until her tragic accidental death. Hecke photographed her daily routine in Zurich for three weeks and accompanied her to Rome where Irene always celebrated her birthday. The result was a subtle and robust portrait of a beautiful and confident woman with unrivaled eroticism and proud elegance. The photos, a mix of choreographed and documentary work, capture an unusual immediacy and presence.
