(Prix du jury - composé de professionnels du monde de l'Art - section peinture)
for her engaged work "Join us - Berlin 2020", 4 drawings, 58 x 78 cm, 2020.
"The paving stones on the "Big star" square in Berlin - the details of these 4 drawings by
Elke Daemmrich - will tell the story. In August 2020 the most important demonstrations
against the mesures of the corona crises and for the fondamental law took place between
Brandenburg Gate and Victory Column. Hundreds of thousands of peaceful people simply
exercised their right to protest were also witnesses of prachial violence from the autorities
against individual demonstrators. It is important for the artist to demonstrate these things
and to do so without evaluating them."
