Advisory center of Sparkasse Marburg-Biedenkopf in Kirchhain

After a long renovation phase, Sparkasse Marburg-Biedenkopf celebrated the reopening of its advisory center in Kirchhain, a half-timbered building directly opposite the train station.

As with the new advice center in Stadtallendorf, the focus of the work was on the themes of people, urbanity, nature and the economy as reflected in the Marburg-Biedenkopf region, subtly interpreted artistically to visually underline the proximity to and reflection of the region.

For photographer Heike Heuser, her regional ties to the district of Marburg are particularly important. Her lens captures life in urban and rural areas and repeatedly captures the abstract structures of the surroundings. Whether people, nature or architecture, Heuser's photographs show everyday things from angles that offer the eye completely new experiences and shape a creative view of one's own surroundings.

For the painter Felix Eckardt, the concept of art is a dogma, a cage that art does not deserve because it is far too free and flexible. For him, art can be experienced and felt, but not captured. For Eckardt, painting in order to celebrate the moment of this beautiful activity is a way of finding himself.

The artists Felix Eckardt and Heike Heuser enter into an exciting and varied artistic exchange between painting and photography in the implementation of the art concept for the advisory center in Kirchhain. Heuser's detailed and naturalistically cropped photography is like a "pars pro toto" for Eckardt's impressionistic, urban dream worlds. The supposedly small is not only explored in depth photographically, but the big picture is also emphasized through a painterly, poetic presence.
