Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The winner of this year’s European Publishers Award for Photography is Alisa Resnik for her project One Another. The winning book is published simultaneously in five editions, in five languages.
Alisa Resnik was born in 1976 in St Petersburg, Russia, and moved to Berlin, Germany, in 1990. After studying art history in Berlin and Bologna, she began taking photographs in 2008. Her work has been exhibited in Rome, Milan and Madrid. Resnik received awards in the Winephoto Contest in 2008 and 2009.
One Another features images mainly taken at night in St Petersburg and Berlin. Leaden-coloured scenes of greasy spoon cafes, empty halls and old hotel rooms seem to echo with traces of the past. She captures fleeting expressions and movements: hurried glances, small awkward gestures, the signs of grief or desperation of subjects breaking through the glass of loneliness.
For Resnik, photography is the way to stop for a moment and look deeper into reality, to step past the often painful dichotomy between subject and the object: “You roam the world looking for the moments you can stop and turn into an act of perception, looking for a revelation, looking for a mirror.”
