Victoria Jung: Dummy Award Winner - The PhotoBookMuseum :
The PhotoBookMuseum in Cologne has announced a significant addition to its collection: Victoria Jung's photobook dummy fever dream, which recently won the prestigious PBM/MAS Prize 2024 at the Dummy Award.
This photobook offers an intimate portrayal of New Orleans' queer subculture, capturing the lives of young individuals who have found refuge in the city's unique environment. Through a blend of documentary photography, drawings, and collages, Jung presents a vivid narrative of resilience and community in the face of adversity.
The Dummy Award, formerly known as the Kassel Dummy Award, is an international competition recognizing the best unpublished photobook dummies. Winning this award means that fever dream will be produced and published by MAS Matbaa in collaboration with The PhotoBookMuseum later this year.
This acquisition underscores The PhotoBookMuseum's commitment to showcasing innovative works that bridge art and social commentary. Visitors can look forward to experiencing Jung's compelling exploration of identity and belonging within the museum's evolving collection.
