01/2014

sascha weidner has been named as the inaugural winner of the entrepreneur 4.0 award. the jury cited the following reasons for its decision: »sascha weidner’s images bear witness to working without a safety net and demonstrate a great willingness to take risks in his personal quest for pictures – and in such a competition it is artistic autonomy that should be rewarded. to continually permit oneself a fresh view of the reality that one encounters, therein lies the extraordinary quality of the oeuvre and a testament to its unique poetological power«

jury members: oliviero toscani, photographer and chairman, manuela kasper-claridge, head of dw-tv’s business department, maren lübbke-tidow, editor-in-chief of camera austria international, felix hoffmann, chief curator of c/o berlin and professor eckard minx, chairman of the daimler and benz foundation.
