Caroline Heider. Photography as a Pastime

Caroline Heider has been working on a dictionary of photographic terms since 2010. She is examining how analog photographic techniques are adopted by the digital world. Her work revolves around the visualization of photography as a successful instrument for constructing human communication. This long-term and ongoing project is titled Fotografie als Zeitvertreib (Photography as a Pastime), inspired by a instruction manual for photography from 1895.
At EIKON Schaufenster, Heider will show a part of her project: photographs of the equipment, that is normally used to create an image, but is not visible as such, for instance turning heads, effect foils, “Magic Arms”, c-stands, glass filters, “Kokolores”, the “Negro” and the “Indian”.

Together with this opening EIKON presents EIKON #103.
