Daniel Schumann Prinzessinnen und Fußballhelden Lebensbedrohlich erkrankte Kinder
For his book project "Prinzessinnen und Fußballhelden" ("Princesses and Football Heroes"), Daniel Schumann portrayed families who have a child with a life-threatening illness. Photographs frequently serve as a document for preserving a cherished memory. This is especially true in cases where a family portrait captures the fragile balance between the wish for normality and the tragedy of illness and impending death. How do we face up to the fact that our lives are finite? Ever since he did his alternative civilian service in a hospice, confronting this question has been a central aspect of Schumann's photographic work. He received a grant from Kunststiftung NRW for this book project. The photo series was honored with the Foreign Artist Award at the China Pingyao International Photography Festival 2010.
