Heiko Neumeister
/// Vertrauen in den Sinn der Zusammenhänge
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.
