Jonas Feige is a photographer based near Frankfurt am Main. His work often revolves around the effects of history and the relationships of people to their spaces, as well as human perception and the poetics of the everyday. He has published photobooks with Edition Patrick Frey, Kominek Books and Another Earth.

Joni Sternbach is an artist based in New York who works with large-format film and early photographic processes. Her work centers on our relationship with water, and how as humans, we observe, relate to, and interact with the earth’s oceans. Because her work is so intrinsic to connective bodies of water, it taps into environmental issues like climate change and its accompanying effects. Sternbach is founding faculty at Penumbra Foundation in NYC where she currently teaches and serves on their advisory board. Her work is held in several international and public collections including LACMA, Chase, National Portrait Gallery in London, Nelson Atkins Museum, and the MFA, Houston. She is the recipient of several grants and fellowships including NYFA, Santo Foundation, MacDowell and Ucross.

She is a 2022 Guggenheim Foundation Fellow and has received grants and awards from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Puffin Foundation, and Anonymous Was a Woman, among many others. She has been nominated for the Foam Paul Huf Award (twice) and the Prix Pictet. England has published five award-winning books, with another two debuting this year, including her first photo novella Isn’t X Beautiful. England graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2012 and received her Ph.D. in 2018.
