Courtesy of the artist | | | | | | Together with The Photographers’ Gallery in London, the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize is awarded annually to a living artist of any nationality who has made the most significant contribution to the photographic medium in Europe. The artists are nominated by a selected group of over 100 experts for a project presented in an exhibition or publication in the previous year.
The four finalists in 2021 are Poulomi Basu, Alejandro Cartagena, Cao Fei und Zineb Sedira. Their bold wide-ranging projects cover geographical territories from Algeria to China and explore issues affecting both the local and the global. From Poulomi Basu’s uncompromisingly complex depiction of conflict in Central India, Alejandro Cartagena’s scathing critique exploring the repercussions of homeownership and developments in northern Mexico, to Cao Fei’s dystopic multi-media fabrications that consider the enormous impact of technologies on lived experiences and Zineb Sedira’s auto-fictive exploration of memory, culture and belonging. | | | | | | | | | For a Brief Moment the World was on Fire, 2019
