Events 2009

16.07.–13.09.2009
Exhibition at CaféCult #40

Stefan Heizinger
One

Opening: July 15, 2009, 8 p.m.

Stefan Heizinger was showing his 2007 piece “Synchronized Swimming” as part of the exhibition series in CaféCult #40.

The visibility of emotions plays an important role in Stefan Heizinger’s work. His paintings begin with photographs that he selects for their memorability. These images of what the artist calls “a collective digital memory” increasingly take on a life of their own throughout the working process and ultimately become pictures of a fictional world residing between reality and imagination.

The perception and production of images is a central topic in Stefan Heizinger’s artistic approach. By translating his own visual consumption of photographic templates into his visual language and linking it to personal experience and feelings, he unconsciously reveals mental processes that are part of his perception.
