Jury favourite

Home by Vivian Lie

Quinty was a course participant in the From Snapshot to Art course by Rogier Alleblas.

Jury report

A striking, absurdist image that quite literally draws you into the photograph: elusive because of the absence of eyes, a nose or a mouth, yet instantly tickling the funny bone. A meticulously staged scene with a keen eye for detail, from the white slippers to the black hats on the shelf. A photograph with an irresistible composition: at its centre, a column formed around a black void, framed by a triangle of blue and a sea of white, with as both pedestal and counterpoint a red square and those human, folded hands.

It is as if we are witnessing a disappearing act in the making. Or a game of peekaboo that, as children, never failed to make us burst out laughing when a face suddenly reappeared. Where is the inhabitant of this image? She seems to be asking herself: where am I, how did I end up here, where am I going — but above all, where do I belong? Where is home? 

Audience favourite

The Strings of Home by Andu Zwanenburg

Andu was a course participant in the Photography Basics course by Sander Heezen.

Jury

Our jury made a selection of 10 pictures from all the submissions from this course block, from which they themselves chose a jury favourite and from which the audience may choose an public favourite.

We hereby introduce our panel:

Marion Visser

Dennis van Galen

CREA director
