"Bekannt wurde Heidi Specker Mitte der 90er-Jahre mit den "Speckergruppen" (1995/96) und anderen Werkreihen, die Betonbauten in den Mittelpunkt stellten - eine Vorwegnahme einer Neubewertung von Nachkriegsarchitektur. Zugleich gehört Specker zu den Pionierender Digitalfotografie.

"Olaf Nicolai developed the work Le pigment de la lumière for the reconstructed Master’s Houses in Dessau. It involved coating the walls with marble dust with varying degrees of granulation to create a geometrical pattern, thus producing a subtle relief that responds to the changing light conditions. In this work, Nicolai continues to pursue his artistic interest in grappling with the formal concept of camouflage, since, to begin with, t ..."

"Heidi Specker’s Re-prise is a reorchestration of Moï Wer’s draft design for the book Ci-Contre. It is a superimposed layering of time – an echo, a mirror of illusory images. After finishing his studies at the Bauhaus Dessau at the beginning of the 1930s, the Lithuanian photographer Moshe Raviv Vorobeichic (Moï Wer) went to Paris, where he produced a maquette with 110 black-and-white photographs on forty-one double pages. In the process, ..."
"In her Speckergruppen series of the 1990s, Heidi Specker studied the structural principles that underlie modern architecture and how those relate to the construction of an image. There followed a body of work titled Concrete, a detailed examination of materials and their visual appearance. In her latest series, Im Garten, Specker has returned to the nature of photography and reflects on nature's relations to architecture, juxtaposing in ..."
"When Dessau was bombed in early 1945, the Bauhaus Masters’ Houses, the epitome of the 20th-century artists’ colony, were reduced to rubble as well.After the main Masters’ Houses were restored to their original state in the 1990s, Walter Gropius’s Director’s House and László Moholy-Nagy’s Master’s House were still in ruins, and a debate began over their reconstruction.

"Bei der Bombardierung von Dessau versanken im Fru¿hjahr 1945 auch das Direktorenhaus und das Meisterhaus Moholy-Nagy in Schutt und Asche. Nachdem in den 1990er Jahren die Dessauer Meisterhaussiedlung - Inbegriffder Ku¿nstlerkolonie im 20.

"It is not an accident that the Asian regions, especially China, are referred to as the "New Frontier."

Asia City Strangers, curated by noted German photographer Joachim Brohm, combines five very different photo based artists. Over a 10 year period, 1996-2006, they created diverse bodies of work exploring this rapidly ch ..."
