Heimo Lattner
Heimo Lattner (1968, Eisenstadt, Austria) is an artist and works at the intersection of visual art, theater and radio play.

Since 2002 he lives in Berlin.
On the occasion of the voice as a trace of an individual as well as a social body, but also through its potential for subversion and transgression, he addresses a politics of listening and thereby emphasizes listening as a generous as well as political act. In the course of extensive research, for example on urban transformation processes, appropriations of cultural traditions, or on neoliberal strategies of culturizing social relations, he develops drawings, films and videos, installations, hikes, reenactments, radio works, and texts.
Between 1999 and 2011, in collaboration with Rene Gabri and Erin Mc Gonigle, he produced scripts for Sci-Fi Road Movies, which were performed in the form of nocturnal bus tours in numerous cities, as well as interventions in public space.
From 2005-2015 he ran the project space General Public with other cultural workers in Berlin.
Since 2016 he is a co-editor of the publishing series "Berlin Journals - on the History and present State of the City".
In 2017-18 he held a teaching position at the Institute for Theory and History at the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin.
