© Johanna Langenhoff | | | | | | The series selected and awarded by the jury is entitled "Ich oder so" [Me or so] and was created in 2023-2024. Johanna Langenhoff (b. 2000) has been studying at HAW Hamburg since 2021 and developed the series against the backdrop of existential questions of identity and gender affiliation.
"Many feelings that are difficult to put into words are easier for me to represent visually. […] At the same time, the photographs open up a space for conversation in which I can talk about myself – my process, my feelings of not belonging, the moments of understanding, the uncertainty, the feeling of having to define myself or the lack of finality of this definition 'non-binary'," says Johanna Langenhoff about the intention of the colour photographic series.
For Johanna Langenhoff, longing, memory and current perception are central moments of a processual self-questioning, characterised by the search for individual location and individual expression. The motifs captured alternate appropriately between (self-)portraits and depictions of the body, between landscape and spatial details, between concrete and abstract studies of form. Light and shadow are also frequently used as visual design and atmospheric elements. The series "Ich oder so" is comparable to a kaleidoscope of different emotional states and experiences. It leaves room for associations and thoughts that apply to the images, the artist and, fundamentally, human development.
The August Sander Award, sponsored by Ulla Bartenbach and Prof. Dr. Kurt Bartenbach, has been presented every two years since 2018. The response to the fourth call for proposals was also very positive; more than 120 submissions were received from Germany and abroad. The jury included Dr. Anja Bartenbach, donor family, Gabriele Conrath-Scholl, Director, Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Foundation Culture, Kirsten Degel, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Bernhard Fuchs, artist, Düsseldorf and Prof. Dr. Martin Hochleitner, Salzburg Museum. | | | | | |  | | | Johanna Langenhoff: "here", 2024 from the series "Ich oder so" [Me or so]
