I look forward to the Photographers' Gallery opening their doors in May. The Deuche Borse prize's exhibition is on and I am planning a visit.
I've just had a look at the shortlisted artists: Pieter Hugo, Rinko Kawauchi, John Stezaker and Christopher Williams. Very interesting!

I am keen to find out more about Rinko Kawauchi, the Japanese artist nominated for the prize.
Rinko Kawauchi (b.1972, Japan) is nominated for her publication Illuminance, published by Editions Xavier Barral (France, 2011). In her work, Kawauchi creates an imaginary space where the fantastical is possible— evoking moments of dreams, memory and temporality. The images in her book Illuminance, the results of both commissions and personal projects, span fifteen years of her practice and have the ability to turn the mundane into the extraordinary and poetic.
