The August Sander Prize has been awarded every two years since 2018. The series selected and awarded this year 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. 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.
