Simultaneously on view: Karl Blossfeldt "Photography in the Light of Art" | | | | | | | | | | Johanna Langenhoff find, search, create, 2023 from the series "Me or So" © Johanna Langenhoff | | | | The series selected and awarded by the jury is entitled "Me or so" and was created in 2023-2024. Johanna Langenhoff (*2000) has been studying at HAW Hamburg since 2021 and developed the series against the backdrop of existential questions of identity and gender affiliation. | | | | | | Johanna Langenhoff Me (or so), 2023 from the series "Me or So" © Johanna Langenhoff | | | | "Many feelings that are difficult to put into words are easier for me to depict 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 color photographic series. For Johanna Langenhoff, longing, memory and present perception are central moments of a processual self-questioning, characterized by the search for individual localization and individual expression. The motifs she captures 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 elements of pictorial design and atmosphere. The series "Me or so" is comparable to a kaleidoscope of different emotional states and experiences. It leaves room for associations and thoughts that apply to the pictures, the artist and, fundamentally, human development. | | | | | | Johanna Langenhoff like the boys, 2024 from the series "Me or So" © Johanna Langenhoff | | | | The August Sander Prize has been awarded every two years since 2018, sponsored by Ulla Bartenbach and Prof. Dr. Kurt Bartenbach.
