About the artists:
Ferdinand Uth is a budding author hailing from Berlin. Since 2017, he has contributed poems and short stories to various publications, including VICE and the eXperimenta literary magazine. Concurrently, between 2018 and 2023, he pursued a degree in journalism and communication at the Freie University of Berlin. In 2021, he published his debut volume of poetry titled "Metamorphosen eines sterbenden Singvogels." From October 2022 to March 2023, Ferdinand embarked on an artist residency in France and Italy alongside Ilka Pappenscheller, culminating in the creation of this project.
Ilka Pappenscheller was raised in the idyllic surroundings of a small village in southern Germany, an upbringing that continues to shape her photographic perspective. In 2015, she relocated to Berlin to study photography at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences, where she graduated in 2019. Her work delves into understated yet profound themes, as exemplified by "Gabriele," the story of a young woman from her village who was tragically murdered by an unknown assailant in the 1990s. Ilka's lens captures the void left by the unsolved case in the lives of the family and community. "Gabriele" earned her a spot on the shortlist for the German Photo Book Award 2019/2020. Her work has also graced the pages of several publications, including Stern, Exberliner, and HANT.
