The After Nature – Ulrike Crespo Photography Prize is a joint project of the C/O Berlin Foundation and the Crespo Foundation. The prize annually honours artists who, through their work, explore new concepts of nature in photography and visual media. The accompanying publication presents the work of the first two prizewinners. Laura Huertas Millán engages with the cultural, medicinal and ritual uses of the coca plant long before cocaine was first produced in 19th-century Europe. Starting from the plant's ban in the course of the Spanish colonisation of Latin America, she develops a speculative narrative centred on a group of women. Sarker Protick approaches the changed ecologies of the present through his own poetic visual language.
