His work is situated between film, photography and performance, posing open-ended questions of cultural belonging, creativity and kinship. These relationships, together with his visual language, also convinced the jury.\r\n\r\nThe Birgit J\u00fcrgenssen Prize, worth 5,000 euros, has been awarded every year since 2004 in memory of the artist Birgit J\u00fcrgenssen, who formerly taught at the Academy. The award is given in a cooperation of the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Public Service and Sport, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and Hubert Winter to a student of the University of Fine Arts for work in the media field, especially artistic photography as well as video or (digital) media art."}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/28171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_type?post=28171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
