Gabriella Héjja

Born 1975 in Szentes, Ungarn. Lives and works in Erlangen, Germany.

Since I am concerned with photography, it is my goal to express emotions in such a way, that – comparable to a language – my photographs convey experienced feelings such as thoughtfulness, transitoriness or loneliness in my individual way.

Images have the characteristic, to stimulate emotions and moods, however, they – in contrast to a language – are far more ambiguous and therefore allow much space for interpretations on the basis of the viewers own imaginations and projections of his or her individual biographies.

Capturing the transitoriness in images, visualizing the signs of the consistant and unstoppable progress of time, is the central theme of my photographs.

1995-1998 studies of interior design in Budapest

2003 move to Germany, autodidactic training in the fields of photographic techniques
