Biography
Despite (or because) of an ocular condition, Heinrich Nüsslein explored visual culture throughout his life: from antiquities to photography to art. Inspired by sceances, his apocryphal visions, finger-painted in pitch-blackness, described alienated landscapes and portraits of the so-called others. These were accompanied by dense, supposedly explanatory text, ascribed to the departed voices of art history’s luminescent many.
