Alfred Fried Photography Award 2017 – Winner Alfred Fried Photography Award Medail
Carla Kogelman, The Netherlands
New sisters

To make peace with something – a phrase that smacks of modesty, not revealing whether one has made this peace voluntarily or under duress. Whether one has capitulated or reached an understanding. The two eleven-year old girls Lúa and Nandini have also suffered losses in their lifetimes. Lúa was still a baby when her Venezuelan mother left. Nandini’s Indian father left his wife. The girls got to know each other in a hostel for asylum seekers in the Dutch town of Amersfoort. Not exactly what a child dreams of. How can one make peace with that? Lúa and Nandini have fought their agony. They have approached each other and became friends. They infect each other with their cheerfulness and they share their ideas. And they are planning to forge a new family out of their remaining family members. They make their difficult situation dance.

Carla Kogelman, is an award-winning Dutch photographer. With her series of portraits ‘New sisters’ she has proven again her special ability to track down the interactions between human beings as well as their development and changes in their relationships through sensitive long-term portraits. Her report about the children living in a village in the Waldviertel already gained her the Alfred Fried Photography Award in 2015. (Text by Peter-Matthias Gaede)
