Curatorial context

John Edmonds has been selected as the fifteenth winner of the prestigious Foam Paul Huf Award 2021, an annual recognition for photographic talent under the age of 35. The award, organized by Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam since 2007, aims to support and encourage the artistic development of emerging photographers. Edmonds' multi-layered body of work is noted for re-articulating history with a focus on the Black human subject and cultural artifacts, questioning notions of displacement and dispossession in contemporary society while expanding the tradition of studio portraiture. Edmonds, born in 1989 in the US, earned his MFA from Yale University. His intimate portraits often focus on the performative gestures and self-fashioning of young Black men. His work is held in numerous public collections and has been recognized in publications such as TIME Magazine.
