Heloise Bergman

Héloïse Bergman is a photographer and visual artist. She holds a MFA in photography (UK), and a BA in textile design (NZ). These twin passions have led her to live in Japan, India, Thailand and the UK; initially as a designer working with traditional textiles, then as a photographer documenting the cultures behind the textiles.

Her work has been widely published in books and magazines, and exhibited in galleries and festivals around the world, including New Zealand, Australia, Holland, Mexico, USA, France, Wales and England.

Héloïse’s lens-based projects encompass a wide range of processes, including chlorophyll printing, hand tinting carte de visites, printmaking, photogravures, video, installations and performance. In conjunction with her art practice, she currently leads bookmaking and photography workshops, which explore issues of identity and connecting with society.
