Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2013

Cristina de Middel's The Afronauts did reminded me of Fontcuberta's work on the Soviet spatial exploration, "Sputink"; War Primer 2, by Broomberg & Chanarin, the resulting book, conceived by Daniel Blaufuks, from his trip to St. Petersburgo; Chris Killip, still, one of the Great Photography Masters, with What Happened - Great Britain 1970-1990; whereas Mishka Henner's Google pictures, in No Man's Land raises issues of authorship, appropriation, and about the act of photographing and the production of new work/images, as well as about anthropological research. For some moments it reminded me of Richard Prince's Cowboys series and the naked women series, but, obviously, with different aesthetics.
