Viviane Sassen is a freelance fashion photographer that is becoming known mostly for her artistic photographs in which form, color and content find a sublime balance almost to the point of abstraction.
The human figure, the body and its pose are the primary classic themes of her work. But in the game between realism and abstraction, Viviane confuses our perception by leaving open messages, which thus become modern.
The Deutsche Boerse Photography Prize 2015 is an annual prize established by The Photographers’ Gallery, London in 1996 and in partnership with Deutsche Boerse Group since 2005. The annual award of £30,000 rewards a living photographer, of any nationality, for a specific body of work in an exhibition or publication format, which is felt to have significantly contributed to photography in Europe.
The winner will be announced at a special award ceremony held at The Photographers’ Gallery on 28 May 2015.
