Description

Detail shots of façades, the head-scarf of a girlfriend traveling, a silver bowl in Giorgio de Chirico’s apartment in Rome—several images and a text in this book stake out the terrain in which the photographic strategies of Heidi Specker are brought into play. Photog-raphy gives her an opportunity to dissolve the hierarchies between gesture, matter, material, surface, and body, and to subject all of this to a comparison. Visible in her projects is the point of access that she undertakes with and through her photographs, the way she reflects on the visible, and the efforts to develop a specific aesthetic strategy. In this respect, she always unleashes a poetics of the visible, with the aim of probing a kind of disharmony between the image and the objects, so as to challenge the power of the photographic  images, whose effects we all share.
