The Wüstenrot Foundation's Documentary Photography Prizes are the most important awards of their kind in Germany. Every two years, they are awarded to young artists from German universities and academies who question the present with contemporary documentary image strategies and forms of representation. After kicking off in Essen, the 15th edition of the awards will stop in Stuttgart for four months. The exhibition can be seen there in "THE GÄLLERY-Raum für Fotografie".

Malte Uchtmann from the photography and media class and the expanded cinema class is part of the award-winning exhibition. In the award-winning video and sound installation ANT*HOLOGY: De/Bugging the cultural history of ants, Malte Uchtmann uses the representation of ants to explore how our perception is influenced by our social embedding and the possibilities of acquiring knowledge. The cultural history of ants becomes the starting point for an examination of human social forms.
