Claudio Rasano receives the Meitar Award for Excellence in Photography from PHOTO IS:RAEL. Congratulations!

Claudio Rasano's view from the balcony during the Corona crisis. A meaningful image that precisely captures the global reality of the lockdown: The balcony as the only open space. The reduction of the perspective on the immediate surroundings.

The miracle tree's seed capsule, a reverse glass preparation from a series of pressed flowers. Lorenz Olivier Schmid's wall picture «Ricinus communis» from 2019 is given an astonishing topicality by the media presence of coronavirus illustrations.

Congratulations to Antshi von Moos. Another award for her short film "Brother, move on". This time it was chosen as Best Film in the Fairer & Fearless category at the New Delhi International Film Festival.

Finished paintings. These are ready to be exhibited.
