WOLFSKINDER – feral children – is a metaphor for young people with problems, who are separated from their parents because their environment is seen as the cause of their problems. Fabian Weiß approaches the young people sensitively and with the skills of a great photographer. The book provides an authentic and empathetic view of unusual life stories within the German youth welfare services.
The book was awarded with the BFF-Förderpreis 2013. The award ceremony will be on 10th January, 2014 in Stuttgart.
The Distance Between Us and Wolfskinder received ‘Silver 2014 ’ in the conceptual / artistic picture books category. Matthias Cremer – 25 Jahre DER STANDARD, EPHESOS – The Beauty of Destruction and GLAMOUR received the „Nominated 2014“ honourable mention in the coffee table book category at the 2014 German Photo Book Prize, which took place on 15 November 2013 at Haus der Wirtschaft in Stuttgart.
Possibly the most unusual photo story in the world.
