After Nature Ulrike Crespo Photography Prize 2025 - Lisa Barnard

After Nature – The Ulrike Crespo Photography Prize is a joint project of the C/O Berlin Foundation and the Crespo Foundation, Frankfurt. In 2025 it will be awarded for the second time. The prize honors artists who explore new concepts of nature in photography and other visual media through their work. In her project Lisa Barnard explores the question of how technology shapes human perception and affects our relationship to the environment. Drawing on a wide array of image-making processes, she presents her expansive artistic research into the topic of echolocation, which reveals unexpected connections between animal consciousness, driverless vehicle technologies, lithium mining, and nuclear test sites.
