About the Polish photographer, Damian Michal HEINISCH (b. 1968, in Zabrze)
Damian Michal HEINISCH is an Oslo-based photographer with a MA in Visual Arts from the Folkwang School in Essen, Germany. After spending his childhood in Poland and attending school in Germany, he moved to Norway in 2001. For over 30 years, his work has focused on landscapes, architecture and space in general. While he began by taking a traditional approach to his practice, recently his work has evolved into a narrative confronting themes of identity and immigration. More and more, he finds himself exploring this subject through the lens of historical consciousness and emphasising the human soul. His work has received national and international awards and has been exhibited in museums, institutions and galleries around the world.
