Jury comment:
The plague of plastic, photographed as a commission for Greenpeace Magazine. With his picture concept, the BFF photographer Ansgar Pudenz draws our attention to the disastrous consequences of our thoughtless consume-and-throwaway society. He artistically stages frequently found objects such as cigarette ends and coffee capsules, and he also makes traces of microplastic visible. By artistically elevating the photography of profane plastic waste, he confronts viewers with their potential to be seduced by products that are quickly obtainable. The photographs are warning works of art, with great aesthetics.
