Nature: Honorable Mention 2024 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
When I am out in nature, marvelling at landscapes and watching animals in their natural environment, I am touched by this simplicity, this genuineness.
I then imagine that this scene could have taken place in a similar way thousands of years ago, i.e. that it is to a certain extent free of space and time - only a small hint indicates that humankind has already intervened here, like a symbol of civilisation, a statement of human dominance.
AUTHOR
Lennard Grohn is a German photographic artist based in Frankfurt am Main.
He studied photography at the University of Fine Arts in Mainz, where his approach to light, drawing and composition was shaped. Working primarily in black and white, he develops long-term series that explore memory, intimacy and quiet transformation through a reduced, minimalist visual language.
His work moves between presence and absence, silence and emotional intensity, ranging from intimate portraits to poetic landscapes.
Alongside photography, he has a background in music as a drummer and percussionist, which informs his sense of rhythm and restraint.
