Carolle Benitah (1965 - 2024). The news that the former juror of the 21st vfg Young Talent Award (2018), French photographer Carolle Benitah from Marseille/FR, passed away far too early a few days ago is unbelievable and saddens us all.
With her energy and her own calm, yet very determined manner, Carolle contributed a great deal to making the judging day in June 2018 a success and a positive experience in our memories. We came to appreciate Carolle as a professional juror and as a great person. She has also placed the quiet, intimate, transience and memory at the centre of her own work, most recently in the book "Jamais je ne t'oublierai" - which is exactly how we feel today. Chère Carolle, merci pour tout - et jamais nous ne t'oublierons /Susanne Martinez Garcia, Christoph Kern, vfg NWFP/SIYU Award
