■ Jacob Heine (*2001) is a German photographer and designer. Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication from the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (BUW), he currently studies photography in the diploma class of Heidi Specker at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. Heine’s work bridges photography, book design, and theory, regularly presented in the form of self-produced publications. Photographically interested in atmospheres of artificial light and sculptural qualities, his work textually concerns itself with the topics of autism, mental health, grief, and their connections to photography as well as philosophy, sociology, linguistics, psychology, and politics. ■ Heine has been exhibited in Germany and Japan, lastly being shortlisted for the Stiftung Buchkunst’s Sponsorship Prize for Young Book Design. Heine was a student assistant and workshop lecturer at the BUW, currently teaching there as a visiting lecturer. From 2025 to 2026, he was a recipient of the German National Scholarship Program.

    Al-Majnoun Books

    A collection of digital and analogue photo prints, packaged in an unbound folder. The works featured were supplied by Bachelor and Master students of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar who had prominantly attended courses given by Pio Rahner, then out-going artistic assistant of the university’s photography department. Said students had occassionally been referred to as “the Bagage”, their collaborative project being gifted to Rahner at the end of his contract.
