Jury report
Rasti’s collaborative body of work addresses the inequalities of the Swiss prison system and questions its effectiveness, particularly with regard to minor offences. Created in collaboration with eight inmates, who also produced images themselves within the prison environment, the mixed-media project was developed as part of the Enquête photographique neuchâteloise (Photographic Survey of the Canton of Neuchâtel) and exists as both an installation and a publication. The jury highly valued the relevance and urgency of the topic, as well as the complexity of the method employed, which challenges notions of authorship and the gaze of those who tell the story.
