Biography:
Laetitia Heisler (b. 1991, Toulon, France) is a French-German visual artist based in northern Germany. Working primarily with experimental analogue photography, her practice explores impermanence, dissociation, and embodied experience, often through performative self-portraits.
Through multiple exposures, unconventional darkroom techniques, and the integration of organic matter such as menstrual blood, Heisler challenges conventions of truth, intimacy, and visibility. Her images reconfigure the tangible world into layered realities, questioning how perception is shaped by both body and psyche.
Rooted in the legacy of Pictorialism yet extending toward contemporary feminist concerns, her work creates encounters where viewers are invited into introspection, confrontation, and dialogue. She divides her time between her studio, darkrooms across Europe, and site-specific experiments that connect material processes with lived environments.
