Heike Baranowsky

Baranowsky lives in Berlin and is a professor of fine art in Nuremberg. She studied sculpture at the AdBK Munich, the HFBK Hamburg and the UdK Berlin as well as photography at the RCA London. Her work moves between documentary observation and poetic construction of reality. She uses video to investigate time, space and movement and also makes invisible phenomena such as sunlight, wind and air pressure visually tangible.
The centrepiece of the exhibition is Soliloquio (2023), a stop-motion animation that documents the movement of sunlight in the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Rome over the course of a year - created during the COVID pandemic. Other works such as Mondfahrt 2001 or Death/breath tomb/womb evil/live (1998) show her experimental approach to time and perception.
Baranowsky's works have been shown in numerous international exhibitions, including Frankfurter Kunstverein, Kunstwerke Berlin, P.S.1 New York, MoMA New York, Serpentine Gallery London, Galerie Barbara Weiss, Hamburger Bahnhof Berlin, Kunsthalle Nürnberg and Lentos Museum Linz. She has received many prizes and scholarships, most recently she was the Rome Prize winner at the German Academy Villa Massimo in 2020/21.
