Gewinner des internationalen Fotowettbewerbs "Visions and Images of Fascination" ausgezeichnet

Dr. Verena Bopp Geschäftsstelle
Die Junge Akademie an der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Deutschen Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina

    Internationaler Fotowettbewerb „Visions and Images of Fascination: Humanities and Sciences Visualised“ zeichnet WissenschaftlerInnen aus

    Auf der Festveranstaltung der Jungen Akademie am 15.6.2013 in der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften wurden die zehn Gewinner des Fotowettbewerbs „Visions and Images of Fascination: Humanities and Sciences Visualised“ durch eine internationale Jury prämiert. Geistes- und NaturwissenschaftlerInnen aus Deutschland, den Niederlanden, Russland, Schottland und Schweden haben spannende und zum Teil ungewöhnliche fotografische Antworten auf die Frage gefunden, was sie an ihrer Forschung fasziniert und wie sich diese Faszination visualisieren lässt.

    Der Fotowettbewerb ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt von der Jungen Akademie an der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Deutschen Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina, De Jonge Akademie of the Netherlands, RSE Young Academy of Scotland, The Young Academy of Sweden und The Council of Young Scientists of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).

    Mit dem Wettbewerb wollen die beteiligten Jungen Akademien Europas gemeinsam Brücken bauen, die das Verständnis von Wissenschaft in der breiten Öffentlichkeit stärken: Forschung und die damit verbundene Leidenschaft werden durch die Bilder greifbar und laden den Betrachter ein, die Abenteuer der Wissenschaft visuell mitzuerleben.

    Die Siegerfotos werden in einer Reihe von Ausstellungen in Berlin, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Moskau und Stockholm präsentiert. Die 100 besten Bilder sollen in einem Katalog zusammengestellt und der Öffentlichkeit sowohl in Druckform als auch online zugänglich gemacht werden.

    Platz 1: Dying Memories: Is This What Forgetting Looks Like? (Rozalyn Simon, Linköping University, Sweden): "This is brain tissue from a patient that had Alzheimer’s disease. Using a single probe we are able to visualize the interplay between Amyloid Beta plaques and Tau protein neurofibrillary tangles. When exploring these biological correlates of neuron loss and AD pathology, I am suspended bet-ween the actuality of my research and the fantasy of illuminating lost memories and the dying neurons of those who eventually became lost, even to themselves. Is this what forgetting looks like?"

    Platz 2: Shadow Society (Dominic Akyel, Max-Planck-Institut für Gesellschaftsforschung, Köln): "People are waiting at a train station, their shadows fall on the wall behind the rails. For me, this image is a perfect allegory for the remarkable disparities between individuals’ perceptions of the social world and its actual condition. Like the silhouettes in this image, our concepts of the social world are projections of our own conditioning that obscure the complexity of phenomena. The distant hope of raising awareness of this disparity is the greatest source of inspiration for my work."
