    Wiebke Loeper

    In 1990, Wiebke Loeper began studying art photography in Leipzig at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (HGB) under Arno Fischer and Joachim Brohm. Parallel to this, together with friends, she founded the lux fotografenbüro berlin and began working as a freelance photographer and assistant to Sibylle Bergemann. She graduated in 1997; in 2000, following a DAAD travel grant to the US, she completed her master’s degree with Joachim Brohm. Her books Hello from Bloomer, Lad, MOLL 31, and Gold und Silber lieb’ ich sehr were published soon thereafter. In 2001 she began teaching, and was made professor for photography in the design department of the FH Potsdam in 2008. The Galerie cubus-m represents her artistic work. Wiebke Loeper’s works have been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions.

    Interested in:

    I’d like to talk about photography that serves as a tool for understanding the world, and that describes it from an individual perspective. In view of the complexity of the world today, I am interested in what forms and concepts are required to address this with photography.
