Alex Heilner
Alexander Heilner is a New York–based artist and educator whose work deals primarily with the intersection of organic and human-constructed landscapes and environments. An internationally exhibited photographer for many years, he has more recently been using video, digital, and performance as paths for exploring human perception of the physical world.
This series of “microbe” images, created in 1997 and 1998, seeks to invert traditional understanding of our internal and external environments. Large, orthogonal, built objects such as radio towers and skyscrapers have been re-imagined here to represent the most basic organic living beings, as they might be viewed microscopically. These images were included in the 6th Annual Digital Salon sponsored by the School of Digital Arts.
