The French media artist and photographer Isabelle Le Minh will be honoured with the SPECTRUM Internationaler Preis für Fotografie der Stiftung Niedersachsen in 2027. The prestigious photography prize is endowed with 15,000 euros, a major exhibition at the Sprengel Museum Hannover and a publication.
With her chosen techniques, Isabelle Le Minh repeatedly scrutinises the usability of photography as a credible representation of reality. In a reflexive way, she explores the very nature of photography, its subject-matters, uses, processes, its tools and protagonists, its rhetoric and history.
The award ceremony will take place on 30 July 2027 as part of the exhibition opening at the Sprengel Museum Hannover. The jury of the SPECTRUM Prize 2027 consisted of: Lavinia Francke (Stiftung Niedersachsen), Dr. Stefan Gronert (Sprengel Museum Hannover), Dr. Christina Leber (DZ BANK Kunststiftung), Prof. Dr. Bernd Stiegler (University of Konstanz) and Nadine Wietlisbach (Fotomuseum Winterthur).
