Fish 2.0.

60 percent of commercial fish stocks are exploited to the maximum and 33 percent are already overfished. These endangered ecosystems provide an important part of the food base for hundreds of millions of people worldwide. As the world’s population continues to grow, so does the demand for animal protein. To meet the demand for fish and fishery products in Germany, more than 80% of the demand is imported.
With “Fish 2.0” Anna Brauns shows the research of a German startup on a new, sustainable protein source: “Cellular Agriculture”. With the help of modern biotechnology, animal fish cells grow in the laboratory. Can this be the future of the fishing industry? A photographic accompaniment to current research – as a vision for tomorrow.

Photography accompanied Anna Brauns since her youth. At the age of 15, she took on her first photo jobs for a daily newspaper. Since completing her training as a photographer in 2013, she has worked independently in the field of food & reportage for books, magazines and PR. In 2018, she began her studies in “Photojournalism and Documentary Photography” at Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Since 2021 Anna Brauns has been working in a Hamburg advertising studio with a focus on food photography.
