The photographer returned to spend a summer in the hometown of her childhood, Damme in southern Lower Saxony. Damme is surrounded by an agricultural landscape of industrial monoculture. At the time of the photographs, the fields were full of maize. Heidi Specker took portraits of pupils at the high school and positioned these figures and faces alongside brick architecture, with bunting and brass musical instruments, subtly evoking rituals, to form a visual essay of 70 photographs.The theme of human and animal is biographically and historically reasoned and updated in text and image through a personal commentary from the photographer. The book deals with our own biography, which has become increasingly problematic these days, in terms of animal husbandry, particularly in this region, and global climate change.

Heidi Specker became known in the mid-1990s through the "Speckergruppen" or "Specker Groups" (1995/96) and other work series, which focused quite literally on concrete structures in an anticipation of the reappraisal of post-War architecture. Specker is also one of the pioneers of digital photography. One thing almost all her works have in common: By examining them through the eye of the camera they serve as a visual artistic exploration of historical works and circumstances. In addition, Heidi Specker's images are also always a reflection of photography as a medium and its reception. The catalog accompanying the exhibition offers the first comprehensive survey of Heidi Specker's work and assembles important bodies of work from the last 20 years. Exhibition:

"When Dessau was bombed in early 1945, the Director's House and Moholy-Nagy's Master House were reduced to rubble as well. After the Dessau Masters' Houses - epitome of the 20th-century artists' colony - had been restored to their original state in the 1990s, a debate began on the reconstruction of the two houses destroyed in the war. In 2010, after consultation with the British star architect David Chipperfield, the decision was made to recreate the Master Houses of Gropius and Moholy-Nagy using contemporary means, rather than rebuilding them 1:1. And so they have now been reconstructed on the basis of designs by the Berlin firm Bruno-Fioretti-Marquez, as innovative reductions and abstractions of the original houses. This volume describes the chequered history of the Dessau Masters' Houses, presenting the reconstructed buildings for the first time in book form, with photographs by Armin Linke and Heidi Specker."--Provided by publisher
