Landscape with figures
Heike creates figurative installations, where the human body is placed in various scenarios to create allegories about modern society. She uses the concept of the individual to explore human behavior and idiosyncrasies, particularly in the light of the Internet age. Rather than using abstraction and symbolism to reflect on reality, Heike reverses the process, creating familiar scenes, evoking the uncomfortable futility of daily realities.
The artist's works, showed at her exhibition, titled "Frothing, you and I" (2019), represent an investigative process into herself and the inner workings of her studio.
