The just-announced shortlist for the Deutsche Börse photography prize 2014 is surprising bordering on bemusing. No change there, then. The four artists – photographer is now too quaint a word to describe the nominees – are: Richard Mosse for his exhibition The Enclave, which represented Ireland at this year's Venice Biennale, Lorna Simpson for her recent multimedia retrospective at the Jeu de Paume in Paris, Jochen Lempert for his eponymously titled show at Hamburger Kuntshalle and Alberto García-Alix for his publication Autorretrato/Self-Portrait. Even the most seasoned photography buffs might be forgiven for shaking their heads and muttering, "Who? What?!"
