German Photo Book Award 2023/2024
The illustrated book “A Second Beating Heart” by Rabea Edel was awarded the silver medal in the category “Illustrated Book Artistic Photography” at the German Photo Book Award 2023/2024.
“Rabea Edel’s autofictional photo series about motherhood with its bright and often concealed dark sides is an atypical but very successful variation of Ostkreuz documentary. (…) The view of the world outside, which seems infinitely far away in moments of depression, becomes doubly tangible.”

“A Second Beating Heart” is not only a story of isolation, but also of healing and emancipation. The woman finds her way out of the cocoon she has woven around herself. This coffee table book tells of their journey, which is not only a physical healing, but also an emotional and spiritual one. It is a liberation from the ideal image of the perfect mother and a testimony to the power of personal development.
