Ecce Homo by Evelyn Bencicova


Ecce Homo is a series of abstract, nude portraits by Slovakian photographer, Evelyn Bencicova, who is now based in Berlin. The series’ Latin title translates into the phrase ‘behold the man’, spoken byPontius Pilate when he presented a Jesus, scrounged. The phrase has now come to refer to the degradation of human life that occurs in acts of violence, which is why the models are nude and faceless, with Bencicova stating, “It can be about everyone. Anyone."
