The artists nominated by
Iben Gad's work deals with identity and personal stories - though based in the documentary field, she has a remarkably quirky take on the discipline which deserves a certain attention. Her project about bullying, To the Unpopular Girls, shows personal courage and a refreshing multimedia approach to photojournalism.
Inuuteq Storch, based in Sisimiut, Greenland, makes work about his homeland that radiates a sensitivity to identity, human relations and belonging. His poetic imagery offers an uncensored portrait of a culture which for many centuries has been dominated by outsiders' perspective.
Luna Scales stands out for her persistent and kaleidoscopic investigation of the human body through photography and video performance. She is occupied with the codex between the viewer and the objectified body - and how language and the gaze become the defining measurement for perfection and beauty.
Oscar Scott Carl, a recent graduate of Photojournalism, is already a convincing visual storyteller. The core of his photographic practice is to engulf himself in long-term projects which reflect upon social injustice and transition in human relations.
Tina Bek's personal practice is complemented by commissions for the fashion industry: a combination that lends her the ability to create harmonic compositions. However beautiful, the beauty she conveys is often dislocated, forcing viewers' to recalibrate their expectations.

Inuuteq Storch, born in 1989, Sisimiut, Greenland. Based in Copenhagen and Sisimiut.
I studied at Fatamorgana – The Danish School of Art Photography in 2010 and at the International Center of Photography in New York in 2016. After that, I published the following books: Porcelain Souls, Flesh and Mirrored – Portraits of Good Hope.
My work is based on identity searching, which means the subject is usually around being from Greenland.
I work with my photography and archives.
Luna Scales (b. 1992) graduated as a visual artist from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2020. Several of Scales’ works have been exhibited in a number of group exhibitions both nationally and internationally, and in 2019 she had a solo exhibition at Bonniers Konsthall in Stockholm, Sweden.
Her artistic practice reflects a consistent interest in and references to the iconography of western art history, which comes to expression through photographs and videos of the female body in particular, patterns of movement and directions of the gaze. Scales often portrays herself, playing in her works with the public’s ideas of physical functional abilities. In so doing she questions these very notions, and in this connection also simultaneously presents a critique of the gaze at and notions about the body.
She lives and works in Copenhagen.
My name is Oscar Scott Carl, i’m 26 years old. I finished my bachelor programme in photojournalism in April 2021 at DMJX in Aarhus, Denmark. Photography is for me an exploration of the question why? Through photography I try to understand and comprehend. I believe that my pictures are visual footsteps in my search for understanding of the constant transitions in life. I document transitions to comprehend. I often find myself capturing quiet intimate moments in both human relations and on my own. I do not necessarily feel the need to shout, but I do believe in photography as an important part of understanding the world around us.
