Anna Heydel (*1982, Guayaquil/Ecuador) is a visual artist whose works are based on experimenting with photography and a variety of other Materials. She mainly works on the project VISIONICUM, in which she combines visual elements with the geometrical structure of the point. The techniques that she developed throughout the past years (–> Intro Visionicum) enable her to intervene concretely into the shaping of reality, to extend her sight and vision into space. Photography, projections, objects, sculptures and mixed-media installations are the processes she uses to create her works.
Anna Heydel is a self-taught Visual Artist. She studied Political Sciences at the University of Marburg, Journalism at the School of Journalism in Berlin and worked as an editor at the Frankfurter Rundschau, a german national newspaper. Parallely she worked as Project Manager at the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt, organizing the Summer Academy. During this program she received an additional photographic and artistic education while participating in numerous workshops with photographers, curators and theorists. At the same time she began to intensify her work as a freelance photo artist.
Anna Heydel currently lives and works in Worpswede.
