Huda Takriti has been selected by the jury of the Vordemberge-Gildewart Foundation as the 2022 Scholarship Holder
The jury explained its decision with the following words: "In her two-part installation Refusing to Meet Your Eye from 2022, which consists of a single-channel video and a collection of documents, Huda Takriti leads us into a stream of archive images from 1969. The starting point for the in-depth research is an aeroplane hijacking in which a woman was in charge for the first time. Remarkably, the hijacker had commissioned a photographer to document the blowing up of the empty passenger plane, which had been diverted to Damascus, for archival purposes. However, the photographer forgot to remove the lens cap, resulting in a black photo. The event remained undocumented.
