Aprašymas

Founded in 2008 by the Pictet Group, the Prix Pictet has become the world's leading award for photography and sustainability. To date, there have been ten cycles of the award, each of which has highlighted a particular facet of sustainability. It is an award of 100,000 Swiss francs given to the photographer who, in the opinion of the independent jury, has produced a series of work that is both artistically outstanding and presents a compelling narrative related to the theme of the award. The ten Prix Pictet winners so far are Benoit Aquin, Nadav Kander, Mitch Epstein, Luc Delahaye, Michael Schmidt, Valérie Belin, Richard Mosse, Joana Choumali, Sally Mann, and Gauri Gill.

In this thought-provoking anthology, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum has partnered with the Prix Pictet and commissioned William A. Ewing and Elisa Rusca to curate a fresh selection of work that explores contemporary photography from a humanitarian perspective. The result of these efforts is a selection of thirty photographers, each of whom were not shortlisted in previous Prix Pictet cycles, but who have gone on to be acknowledged as leading contemporary practitioners, including globally recognized names such as Lynsey Addario, Evgenia Arbugaeva, and Charles Fréger.
