For "Absolut Warhola" she received the award „Best Camera Work“ at the International Documentary Film Festival in Leipzig and the Adolf Grimme award for "pictures that are as enigmatic as they are realistic, so grotesque as loving, but also pitiless. Her camera work is characterized by an unobtrusive emotional language, which supports the intention of the film."
