About Fire

Haus 1 Berlin, Germany

September 28 – October 3, 2018

“About Fire” is Heinser’s third exhibition at Haus 1. The series includes aerial photographs of California landscapes transformed by recent fires in Mendocino, Lake, Yolo, Sonoma, and Ventura counties. His pictures unfold the aesthetics of abstract paintings: clear, objective, minimalist. The serene beauty of these images however cannot be separated from the dark times captured within them. Heinser presents a mirror to a land where the causes and symptoms of man-made climate change are leaving behind deep scars.
