Baldessari similarly used photographic collage and conceptual strategies to deconstruct the meaning of images, combining found photographs with surrealist juxtapositions that challenge how we read visual information.

Kruger employs photographic and mixed media collage techniques to destabilize conventional image meaning, sharing Heinecken's experimental approach to reimagining photographic content through conceptual and surrealist layering.

Uelsmann created darkroom composite photographs that merge multiple images into dreamlike surrealist scenes, directly paralleling Heinecken's use of photographic manipulation to construct experimental and psychologically charged visual narratives.
