Heidi Specker became known in the mid-1990s through the 'Speckergruppen' (Specker Groups) in 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.Heidi Specker lectures at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig.
