Sabine Weiss, Times Square, New York, Etats-Unis , 1955. Collection Photo Elysée © Sabine Weiss / Photo Elysée, Lausanne. LAUSANNE.- Photo Elysée is presenting an exhibition in homage to the photographer who died in 2021, and has invited artist Nathalie Boutté (France, 1967) to create a dialogue with her photographs. Sabine Weiss explored every aspect of her profession over more than sixty years, working in turn as a portrait, fashion, advertising and street photographer as well as a photojournalist for numerous international magazines. Along with Robert Doisneau, Willy Ronis, Edouard Boubat, Brassaï and Izis, Weiss contributed to the French humanist photography movement and was one of the few female photographers to make a living from her art from the 1950s onwards. “To be powerful, a photograph must speak to us about some aspect of the human condition, making us feel the emotion the photographer experienced in front of his or her subject” she wrote.

BERLIN.- Akinbode Akinbiyi (*1946 Oxford, England) has won the Hannah Höch Prize for 2024. The photographer and author of global renown, who has lived and worked in Berlin since 1991, wanders the megacities of this world capturing life on the streets. Berlin, Brasília, Durban, Lagos – urban space is his workstation. He experiences it as an “interminal labyrinth” or, as he phrased it in 2009, “a maze of never ending streets that coalesce into uncountable pathways”. Akinbiyi photographs what he observes, predominantly in analogue black-and-white. His pictures are visual metaphors rich in nuance, addressing cultural change and social exclusion but also the political, social and architectural impact of colonialism.
