■ 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    A lyrics book, originally made for the release of a double-release under the same name by Levi Ovesen, Jacob’s musical pseudonym. The book features 26 original songs written between 2019 and 2024. “The Stripped Preacher” brings together acoustic demos of said songs, recorded in 2024. Its songs tackle themes of christianity, grief and politics, making use of magical realism, self-mythology, and confrontative honesty.
    The lyrics book, based on a psalm book, lays out its text in continuous text rather than lyrical lines, enhancing their reading into a mode somewhere between poetry and prose. Annotations give closer accounts of the history of the songs featured.
