Laudation by juror Prof. Wiebke Loeper

Codes of the Far Right–In his artistic work, Jonas Höschl explores the visual codes, gestures, and power structures of the far-right scene. By recontextualizing image material often circulated on anti-fascist platforms, he critically examines the role of photography at the intersection of activism and documentation. Using artistic strategies, Höschl creates spaces of resonance that challenge viewers to reflect on political systems and the aesthetics of neo-fascism. His research-based practice offers a profound inquiry into the significance of images in our contemporary world.

The artist thanks Endstation Rechts, Recherchenetzwerk Berlin and Recherche Nord, as well as the many other anti-fascist research networks and their photographers, for the image material and their tireless work.
