Overview

Now in its 15th year, The Photographers’ Gallery’s annual prize of £30,000 rewards a living photographer who has made the most significant contribution to photography in Europe over the previous year.

Edited by exhibition Curator Stefanie Braun, this catalogue features new essays about each of the four shortlisted artists.

Charlotte Cotton considers how Jim Goldberg is as much storyteller as social photographer; in his essay Procedure and figure, Thomas Khurana discusses the layers of meaning found in Thomas Demand’s work; the combination of the personal with the professional in Roe Ethridge’s imagery is examined by Christy Lange; and Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith discusses the importance to Elad Lassry of the image in its most basic form in his essay What is a picture of something?
