Recently visited Deutsche Börse photography exhibition which is related to the experiences of refugee, immigrant and trafficked populations who travel from war torn, socially and economically devastated countries to make new lives in Europe.
This year, two US photographers, Roe Ethridge and Magnum's Jim Goldberg, are joined by German Thomas Demand and Israeli Elad Lassry to compete for the £30,000 cash prize. Each year, the award goes to a living photographer that has made "the most significant contribution, in exhibition or publication format, to the medium of photography in Europe" over the past 12 months.
Most impressive photograph made by Jim Goldberg
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. 2008. His radio is the sole possession that he took with him while escaping a rebel attack in his village. He now lives in a refugee camp with 60,000 other people where poverty, disease, and crime run rampant © Jim Goldberg / Magnum Photos.Really liked all the works,especially Jim Goldberg's polaroid series. To me he's a real master of conceptual photography.I was inspired to start my own new project. Bought Deutsche Borse 2011 photo collection book + fresh pack of polaroid film.
