Across The Void

  • Photographer
    Richard Pilnick, United Kingdom
  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

From Across the Void, a photographic investigation into Near-Death Experience. Created using expired Polaroid Type 55, the work employs the film's unpredictable chemistry as a metaphor for survival beyond expected endings. The rupture at the centre of the frame obscures identity while opening a space between presence and disappearance, asking what photography can reveal when directed toward experiences that resist ordinary description.
