Heydt’s large and varied body of photographic work is united by its
unconventional exploration of semiology and its role in cementing a
cultural phenomenology of consumerism , corporal commodification and
a mythology of a fictional past.

emories of the past are dictated by the present. Globalization and technology go directly from
obscurity to meaninglessness. As the myth of progress continues to perpetuate inequality,
oppression and violence, the social landscape becomes increasingly fractured. We live in a time of
deferred expectations and anxieties, of Hollywood disaster movies and self-fulfilling religious prophecies,
suicide bombers and drones. The collateral damage of these new forms of political dissidence is drowned out
by the noise of the media. The sustained narrative of tabloids becomes history. Identities are no longer built,
but bought into. Advertising lures us in with its pornographic self-awareness and promises for the future
it truncates. Relentless materialism, debt and a growing class disparity are symptoms of an invasive denial
that the American dream is just that, a dream. There is no truth to search for, but an illusion to deconstruct.
The Cartesian gap between desire, the locus of memory and reality reveals how the act of archiving is a result
of the societal impulse to preserve the past and cement a coherent collective memory hinged on imagery.
Heydt’s work continuously examines different phenomenologies of our increasingly fractured social
landscape. Her interests lie in the mutability of history and the material inequalities of a world increasingly
defined by patterns of peace and war, economic stratification and transnational divisions of labour
handicapped by its own historical and institutional (dis)placement. Still lives on the verge of decay, delicate
visual impressions evoking the feelings of memory, images that reflect changing interpretations and
exploitations of women’s bodies, and epic representations of global waste – all ephemeral moments, captured
in distinct and memorable images. The bold swathes of color and rich texture render her images of mines,
industrial refineries, landfills, and other scarred landscapes, perversely beautiful and painterly.
Blurring the boundaries between public and private, a complex narrative of Heydt’s personal experiences is
illustrated swaying on the fault lines of unfixed identity, semantic plurality, sexuality, repressed memory,
social transgressions and cultural polarities. Banal details of motel rooms, scarred landscapes, abandoned
houses, still lives on the verge of decay, conspicuous consumption and socioeconomic polarities – ephemeral
moments born of her experience and expressed through a pastiche of styles and mediums. The role of
semiology is explored in relation to the decay of values, the disillusionment of the social psyche and the
exploitation of a world reduced to the bottom line. Transcending their subjective and site-specific locations
- the impact of the photographs becomes shockingly universal.

education courses for young people with flight experience. In cooperation with partner
schools in two locations (Rahlgasse and Brünnerstraße) in Vienna, we want to give them the

remedial tutoring, sports and leisure activities, crisis intervention, psychosocial support,

20. Bulbul: Song of the Nightingale documents the life of a young Banchara girl living off National
Highway 79 in Madhya Pradesh, India. Though only twelve years old, Bulbul already stands at
a crossroads. The likelihood is high that her parents will soon force her into the longstanding
community tradition of prostitution. Bulbul’s tribe, the Banchara, have existed at the
bottom of Indian society for centuries, relying on prostitution as their economic lifeblood.
A continued lack of options allows this practice to persist. The film traces the contours of
Bulbul’s horizon through her relationships and encounters with the constellation of women
in her immediate family and community, offering a glimpse of what might become her future.
