PRIX PICTET 2025 – STORM

The Guardian – Review by Charlotte Jansen > Read the article

Tom Fecht — PRIX PICTET 2025 – STORM

Victoria & Albert Museum, LondonUntil 19 October 2025Exhibition details
Tom Fecht has been nominated and shortlisted as a finalist of the prestigious Prix Pictet 2025, the world’s leading award for photography and sustainability. This year’s theme, STORM, explores both the power and fragility of our times—capturing forces of nature, societal upheavals, and moments of transformation.The Prix Pictet 2025 exhibition is now open at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, presenting the work of twelve shortlisted artists. This showcase brings together photo artists from across the globe whose work illuminates the urgency and poetry of the theme.The exhibition presents four works by Tom Fecht from his ongoing series Luciferines – Entre chien et loup (2015–2025).View works
  • ABYSS (Luciferine #2479), Unique C-print, 245 × 125 cm
  • RAGE I (Luciferine #2543X71), Homage to Dylan Thomas, Unique C-print, 245 × 125 cm
This series captures the rare phenomenon of natural bioluminescence, photographed on the wild Atlantic coast in Brittany. Luciferines are an endangered species of cold-water plankton threatened by rising ocean temperatures. The electric effects of these microscopic creatures occur when millions are exposed to molecular oxygen while reproducing at full moon on the turbulent surface of the stormy sea. The sublime traces of their electric discharge remain almost invisible to the naked eye and can only be captured entre chien et loup, a twilight moment when the first blue rays of daylight intersect with the remaining reflections of the moon.In times of global warming, uncertainty, hesitation, and subconscious fear are mirrored in the blurred boundaries and shifting limits of liquid spaces. The coastline, however, remains a place of transformation and inconsistency. Like dying coral reefs, Luciferines point us towards an event horizon where an exhausted nature hits a dangerous point of no return. Yet in a world on fire, these marine creatures also lead us to the magic of their beauty.
  • LUCIFER’S VORTEX (Luciferine #2433), Unique C-print, 140 × 200 cm
  • MAELSTRÖM (Luciferine #3606), Unique C-print, 140 × 200 cm

    ARTISTS TALK

    Memorial Space: Names and Stones

    Sunday 30 November 2025 – 3:00 PM – Free admission

    -> Hamburger Bahnhof – website<="" a="">

    On the occasion of World Aids Day, Anne von Fallois (German AIDS Foundation) and artist Tom Fecht explore their collaborative project NAMES and STONES as a social sculpture (Denkraum: Namen und Steine 1992 – 2025). A major installation of this European Mémoire nomade is on display at the Hamburger Bahnhof since 1996.

    First presented at Jan Hoet’s Documenta IX in 1992 as an homage to the creative community of artists who were among the first to go courageously public with their HIV infection, it successively expanded into over 40 permanent and temporary installations and finally transformed into a European network of local memorials for the victims of the Aids pandemic. Still active and expanding by annual additions of name-stones to public and museum installations over the past 33 years, these memorials anchored themselves in the urban fabric of social networks and contemporary mourning culture. Stemming from Land Art, this expansive epitaph is regarded today as the European equivalent to the American Quilt Memorial. Dealing with wounded love and death in a multi-layered work, theses installations continue to challenge our broader understanding of public health, universally rooted in body culture and embedded in inseparable social links to art and culture.

    Accompanied by visuals, the artist talk will be moderated by Dr. Sven Beckstette, curator at the contemporary collection of the National Gallery.

    By appointment until 7 December 2025 at:

    The Guest Room is pleased to present its new exhibition featuring works by Rozbeh Asmani and Tom Fecht. Both artists invite for a reflection of nature as an open system of poetic signs, where color, light and form are governed by the principles of chance, often blurring the lines between the organic and the constructed, beauty and the proprietary. Thus, this exhibition delves into the tension between representation and abstraction.

     

    For the Berlin Gallery Weekend 2025, both artists had the chance to present their signature series Colourmarks and Eclipse in the public realm by posting random combinations of 22 individual works on 50 Litfass advertising columns in the streets of Berlin. These installations will be visible from 30 April until 29 Mai in Berlin-Kreuzberg and selected city locations, sponsored by Nordplakat e.K. and Ilg Außenwerbung GmbH.

    Entre Chien et Loup / Two Soundtracks 90 sec. each

    In times of uncertainty Tom Fecht invited the musician Hubert Neidhart and the duo Transhuman Art Critics for a collaborative experiment to expand the luminous momentum of this work into a photo-acoustic installation.

    Both soundtracks seem to reflect the accelerating uncertainty of our times as much as they mirror the unique circumstances in which the violence of this marine vortex has been photographed on the wild Atlantic coast in Brittany, France. The phenomenon was furtively captured at dawn “entre chien et loup”, a magic twilight moment when the first blue rays of daylight intersect with the remaining reflections of the full moon. Performed on the turbulent surface of the sea, nature’s romantic rendezvous remains invisible to the naked eye. Lasting just 90 seconds, the sublime traces can only be captured by a camera.

    Résumé

    COLORMARKS and DARK MATTERs

    Expanded Lecture by Rozbeh Asmani and Tom Fecht

    The expanded lecture investigates properties of color invisible to the naked human eye. The relationship of color control and power will be Rozbeh Asmani’s point of departure to explore the invisible aspects of color embracing an unexpected fan of artistic strategies interacting with economic, social and scientific points of view. But the invisible aspects of color will be simultaneously explored in very opposite directions. The lecturer’s discourse will expand into an unexpected dialogue without warning: From the monochrome depth and diversity of natures burning blackness towards the cool aesthetics of industrial color monopoly and corporate brand communication.

    Black as a color includes a vast spectrum of contemporary shades combined with a high charge of cultural codes and transformative meanings. As a non-color black seems to share it’s profound magic with the unknown while giving a household name to astronomy’s black matters. There seems to be no accident, that the most recent scientific proof of existence for Dark Matter reanimated phantasies around the globe. This will be the context introducing DARK MATTERs by German photo-artist Tom Fecht. The umbrella term covers a recent body of marine night photography that investigates notions of color, time and space while reminding us that over 95% on the universe remains unknown Dark Matter. These minimalist works cross the line between the physical world and the invisible, magic part of our universe while pushing photography to the edge of quantum physics. Expanding the color-limits of the night became the artist’s photographic signature; exploring light beyond the visible spectrum created his photographic brand.

    COLORMARKS by Iranian artist Rozbeh Asmani is the outcome of an on-going research into the field of color trademarks registered at the German Patent and Trademark Office. The silk screens and digital C-Prints explore a specific range of colors protected by trademark law in their respective fields of usage: The yellow- green color design of gas stations owned by an oil multinational as well as the brown van and overall of a global courier or the dark-blue round of a skin crème box. One glance is often enough to remind us not only of the very trademark, but also of our daily encounter with these products and services. Asmani’s work visualizes the impact of color monopoly on our collective memory when used exclusively by corporations as part of their brand identities. Confronted with the question what these colors stand for our attention is drawn towards industrial complexity linking color, power and memory.

    The research of both artists spotlight the transformation of contemporary color skills in art and photography and stimulate an innovative perspective on color-mapping and invisible color ownership. But the usage of color and non-color in contemporary artistic practice is also part of a much larger global discourse raising profound questions, if any substantial difference between culture and nature can be further maintained.

    The presentation is primarily based on a visual dialog co-delivered by Mr. Fecht and Mr. Asmani.

    ON SIGNATUREs

    ON SIGNATUREs

    Tom Fecht in: Arik Levy FIXING NATURE, Paris 2016

    “In everyday life, a SIGNATURE simply certifies the authenticity of a document or a work of art bearing the unique fingerprint of the artist and helps to identify his vision. But the origins of the term point us further to the SIGNS OF NATURE requiring knowledge about the NATURE OF SIGNS as reassembled in natural science. Here the potent simplicity of FixingNature becomes as challenging as its evolutionary matrix and spatial complexity. Nature as we see it, is a product of culture: as a matter of fact, nature, understood as a projection of human imagination, can be creatively manipulated and re-arranged. After all is it not a given, that any difference between nature and culture can no longer be maintained? Nature and culture seem to be the two extremities of an infinite Möbius loop where both sides are bound to become the very other. There might not be any clear traces left of the beginning – but quite certainly there is no end.

    UNIQUE PRINTS POLICY

    Installation view of Eclipse #8090, 2013 and The Wave by Gustave Courbet, 1870 (Retour de Mer, Musée des Beaux Arts – LAAC, Dunkerque, France 2014)
    Re-evaluating my work in 2012, I have decided to avoid the comfort of repetition. As of 2013 every new photograph is limited to one print so that each image remains as unique as the moment it captures. In addition I will retain one artist proof (AP/EA) for my own reference and/or exhibitions. Editions prior to 2013 will be either sold through or discontinued.
