- Authors

- Abstract
The laudation for Jessica Wynne honors her photographs of chalkboards filled with mathematics, which are the subject of current research. The works were created in a project titled "Do Not Erase - Bitte nicht wegwischen" and include over 100 photographed chalkboards. A photo book was published in 2021 by Princeton University Press, combining the photographs with reflections from mathematicians. Jessica Wynne is a professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and is represented by the Edwynn Houk Gallery. In her work "Do Not Erase - Bitte nicht wegwischen," the photographer Jessica Wynne showcases blackboard images of mathematicians. The boards display both beautiful drawings and messy handwriting and scribbles. Wynne aims to capture the moment of inspiration and the beauty of expressing thoughts. The boards serve as a means of exchange and communication between the writer and the observer. Wynne's photographs also depict the surrounding space and correspond with the content on the board. Wynne's work showcases the working technique of mathematicians and challenges prejudices about mathematics.
