Category Prize of the Jury, 1st place: "Human Virus II", Cyanotype, Watercolour (based on own photography) by Juliane VOWINCKEL
The beautiful things in life are simple. But what about the more complex matters, like admiring nature without destroying it? Juliane Vowinckel's work "Human Virus II" impressively shows how we humans are torn between the intention to protect nature and the reality of destroying it. Does the woman bend over the corals as if they were balcony plants or heads of lettuce at the farmer’s market to tend them, or does she pluck them off?
Die schönen Dinge im Leben sind einfach. Was ist aber mit den komplexeren Angelegenheiten, wie die Natur bewundern, ohne sie zu zerstören? Juliane Vowinckel zeigt mit ihrem Werk „Human Virus II“ eindrucksvoll, wie wir Menschen hin- und hergerissen sind zwischen dem Vorhaben, die Natur zu beschützen und der Realität, sie nachhaltig zu zerstören. So weiß man nicht recht, ob die Frau, die sich über die Korallen beugt als wären sie Balkonpflanzen oder Salatköpfe auf dem Wochenmarkt, die Korallen pflegt oder gerade dabei ist, sie abzurupfen.

Category Prize of the Jury, 2nd place: "Ohne Titel", Material-Collage/ Mixed Media (Naturschwamm, Stoff, Stempelfarbe) by Laura SEVILLA
Being interwoven with each other, even under water. Laura Sevilla's mixed media collage makes us aware of how much we humans are intertwined with nature, how far we have penetrated it. We have to get to grips with climate change, as something that it is happening here and now and for which we bear responsibility.
Miteinander verwoben sein, selbst unter Wasser. Laura Sevillas Material-Collage macht bewusst, wie sehr wir Menschen mit der Natur verflochten sind, wie weit wir in sie vorgedrungen sind. Es ist an der Zeit, den Klimawandel an uns heranzulassen, zu verstehen, dass er jetzt hier und jetzt vollzieht und wir Verantwortung tragen.

Category Prize of the Jury, 3rd place: "Grey new world", Photography by Thomas HUPPERTZ
„O, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, that has such people in’t!“ is said in Shakespeare's drama "The Tempest". There is no trace of Shakespeare's "brave new world" in Thomas Huppertz's "grey new world".
Born in 1975, the violinist in the orchestra of the Hanover State Opera, Thomas Huppertz, has been taking photographs for 30 years. Behind the coral, held by a human hand, a dominant background emerges in his work: The Industrial Revolution, which we often consider as the starting point for climate change. The phrase "How beauteous mankind is" ultimately pales before the dreary sight of the faded coral.
O, Wunder! Wie viele herrliche Geschöpfe es hier gibt! Wie schön der Mensch ist! O schöne neue Welt, die solche Bürger trägt!, liest man in Shakespeares Drama „Der Sturm“. Von Shakespeares „schöner neuer Welt“ ist in Thomas Huppertz „Grauer neuer Welt“ nichts mehr zu spüren.
Der 1975 geborene hauptberufliche Geiger im Orchester der Staatsoper Hannover, Thomas Huppertz, fotografiert bereits seit 30 Jahren. Hinter der Koralle, gehalten von einer Menschenhand, zeigt sich in seinem Werk ein dominanter Hintergrund: Die Industrielle Revolution, die oft als Startschuss für den Klimawandel gewertet wird. Der Satz „Wie schön der Mensch ist“ verblasst endgültig vor dem traurigen Anblick der verblichenen Koralle."
