The Institut Heidersberger is dedicated to the scientific and artistic examination of the life's work of Heinrich Heidersberger, who became known primarily as an architectural photographer and creator of the so-called rhythmograms.
Based in the artist's former studio rooms, the institute is more than just an archive. In the sense of a workshop, it develops ideas and concepts for artistic projects in order to take up and further develop aspects of Heidersberger's complex oeuvre. In addition, the Institut Heidersberger works closely with experts in the fields of photo technology, photo conservation and photo restoration.
Special events
In cooperation with the Heidersberger Institute, the Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg presents the annual series "Studio Heidersberger". Here, new "finds" and aspects from the Heidersberger archive are presented in small presentations.
In exhibitions with national and international cooperation partners, the life's work of Heinrich Heidersberger is contextualized.
