Prix Pictet: Power

One of the major awards in photography today, the Prix Pictet aims to raise public awareness in social and environmental challenges of the current era.

For its fourth cycle the competition focused on the broad and paradoxical concept of “Power”, while often leading to disaster and despair, power can also generate hope and renewal. The exhibition displayed the struggle for survival between humankind and nature, our despair in the face of the damage we have caused, social power conflicts, and the dichotomies of power in our world today with its invasions and revolts. Around the uncanny theme of power, the works of the 12 finalists revealed in a straightforward manner the striking facts experienced in recent history and which we are still experiencing today.
