Viewing Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize at The Photographers’ Gallery

The Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize is back at The Photographers’ Gallery, with four shortlisted artists working with the medium of photography, each nominated for a solo exhibition or photobook of the last year by an international network of photography experts.

The prize this year continues to push the definition of photography, introducing alongside static images dynamic displays, including elements of performance, sound and moving image. On the first floor, Cristina De Middel tracks the journey of Mexican immigrants into the US in her conceptual documentary project, Journey to the Center while Rahim Fortune, the young American artist nominated for his 2024 book Hardtack, presents poignant black and white portraits of his community.

Moving to the second floor of the show are the performative self-portraits of Peru-born Tarrah Krajnak, and an emotive display by the South African artist Lindokuhle Sobekwa, originally presented as a book, in which the artist searches for his lost sister with his camera. The winner of the £30,000 prize will be announced in May.
