Heiko Neumeister

Heiko Neumeister lives and works in Germany

Heiko Neumeister has worked with photography over a period of seven years.  He studied Art under the supervision of Johannes Brus, Matt Mullican and B. J. Blume, and has completed his first private exhibition on the year 2004.  Since then his passion has been absorbed by the immortalization of perplexed civic imagery with urban constructions, architectural features, the human role in society and the underestimated, redundant function of the environment being his models.

His pictures, seemingly casual, can trick the inexperienced viewer, leaving him with a barren, unfruitful impression, “this is everyday life” one may say, ignorant of their actual significance. From accidental events to casual settings to aligned actions and sequenced effects, the bizarre fashion of their power lies in the fact, that they are the epitome, the exact abridgement of these contradicting, everlasting urges.  They orchestrate impressively the sounds of the Brownian movement with the echoing nothingness of absolute zero. One by one, they depict the social machinations of necessity; while with their seeming randomness appear as a chaotic equation. Veracious expressions as they are, of his existentialist mind, they amalgamate the modern with the post-modern without any vivid re-appreciation of reality, without special techniques of a depictive amplification.
