Ilka Helmig has developed photographic, drawn and installation-based works that explore processes of growth, visual structures and the limits of perception. This book, conceived and designed by Helmig herself, brings together a selection of these image series created between 2022 and 2025.
Through an essay by Katie Eva Gaj, Helmig’s works are read in light of Leibniz’s concept of “petites perceptions” – those imperceptibly small sensations that accumulate into consciousness. How do forms become visually perceptible? What kinds of order emerge in the transition between regularity and chance? The collected images make visible how structure manifests itself in drawing, photography and installation – not as the illustration of a theory, but as a visual inquiry in its own right.
Ilka Helmig studied Fine Art and Communication Design at TH Nuremberg and Alanus University, Bonn. She is Professor of Drawing and Visual Conception at Aachen University of Applied Sciences, board member atAnd She Was Like: Bäm! and Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, and lives and works in Cologne and Paris.
