Caroline Heinecke, born in 1986 in Nordhausen in Thuringia in the Harz region, lives, and works in Berlin. She studied visual communication at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Dessau. In 2017, she decided to express her flair for compositions of colors, shapes and arrangements through another medium – photography. Heinecke studied at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie in Berlin from 2017-2020. She is passionate about still life and fine art photography. The patient objects are often supporting actors until the photographer lets us look through their eyes. The reality reflected in her photographs appears slightly enraptured, two-dimensional, as it were centered and alive in its motionlessness. Starting from staged things and situations, she creates a visual world that deals with themes such as niche societies, identity, and the future. In addition to various group exhibitions such as 2022 at Les Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles or Copenhagen Photo Festival (2020) and Villa Grisebach (2024) she can look back on a number of publications.
