Claudia Heinermann

Claudia Heinermann (born 1967 in Iserlohn/DE) lieves in the Netherlands. She studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Enschede from 1986 to 1991. She started out working in mixed media with photography at its core. Over time she became more interested in documentary photography and went on to study at the Fotoacademie Amsterdam from 2004 to 2006. Ever since she is engaged in long-term observational documentary projects with an emphasis on 20th century historical topics and the consequences of war. Characteristic for her work are controversial issues that she captures in unique ways to make the differences visible. Since 2011 she works together with the journaliste Sonya Winterberg.

Heinermanns work is in the collection of the Radboud University UMC St Radboud and the Liberty Museum. It is published in different magazines and books.
