Photographs of

Axl Jansen

Axl Jansen is a German photographer whose work lies at the intersection of portraiture, music, and culture. His oeuvre includes long-term photographic collaborations with artists and personalities, such as the series with Falco from 1997 shown here. Jansen's works are characterized by a calm, focused visual language that goes beyond mere portraiture.

The last shooting

Visible for the first time.

Falco – born in Vienna in 1957 as Johann Hölzel – was, with Rock Me Amadeus, the only German-speaking artist ever to reach number one on the US Billboard charts. He died in an accident in February 1998.

This shooting took place a few months prior. Axl Jansen's photographs show Falco in an imagery of quiet intensity and extraordinary presence. For almost three decades they remained hidden. Now they are coming to light.

Why APHEUM

Photography not as a stream. But as a daily encounter.

APHEUM presents photographic works not as fleeting screen content, but as curated digital fine art in space. This is precisely why this series is given a frame here that matches its photographic quality, serenity, and cultural significance.

Matte instead of bright

The visual effect is calm and understated – more like a print than a classic screen.

Wireless in the room

The frame can be freely placed and integrates more smoothly into high-quality interiors.

Your own pictures at any time

In addition to the Falco collection, users can also transfer their own photographs via the app.
