Nik Erik Neubauer / Where’s the Afters?
Nik Erik Neubauer / Where’s the Afters?
The series of protest photographs by Nik Erik Neubauer started spontaneously, but then, in light of the increasingly thematic structuring of the protests, grew into an extensive collection of images that today not only represent a systematic archive of what happened in those days, but also a self-contained approach to the genre of reportage-documentary photography. Moreover, it is protest photography that often plays a key role in shaping the collective narrative of a specific protest movement. This is why, in certain cases, such photography moves from recording to commentary and interpretation by the person behind the lens.
Where's the Afters? was shortlisted in the category of Photo-Text Book Award at Prix du Livre 2023 at the photo festival Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles.
