Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2018

Four artists are shortlisted for this prestigious prize, for work ranging from the political to the deeply personal. Mathieu Asselin is nominated for his publication ‘Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation’, examining the devastating impact of the biotech company’s aggressive global growth, while Rafal Milach's exhibition ‘Refusal’ looks at the relationship between propaganda and the urban environment in post-Soviet countries such as Belarus, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Batia Suter is nominated for ‘Parallel Encyclopedia #2’, a sequence of found images edited together to forge new subjective meanings, while Luke Willis Thompson’s ‘autoportrait’ is a silent film of Diamond Reynolds, who used Facebook Live to document the moments after the fatal shooting of her partner by the police in Minnesota in 2016.
