As part of a Hertie working scholarship at the Häselburg Gera 2023, Heidi Specker has been researching the biography and work of Gera avant-garde photographer Aenne Biermann (1898-1933). She not only examines Biermann's photographic work, but also the fate of her 4000 negatives, which were confiscated by the Nazis in 1940. Only around 300 original prints, which Biermann had developed himself, are preserved today in international museums. Based on this loss, Specker approaches Aenne Biermann's work with great sensitivity. The lecture will place the work of Specker and Biermann theoretically in the context of the exhibition.
