This is the second year running that the former Secretary-General of the United Nations has agreed to bestow the prize. Speaking at the 2008 award ceremony Kofi Annan said “Each artist has addressed the environmental and social challenges we face in their own personal way. The result is a series of powerful images, which seek to confront us with the scale of the threat we face, and to inspire governments, business, - and all of us as individuals -to step up to the challenge and support change for a sustainable world..”... - Livre
Prix Pictet 2009 Earth
Now in its second year, the Prix Pictet, awarded by the Swiss Private Bank Pictet & Cie, aims to use photography to educate audiences worldwide about issues related to climate change. This is the first photographic award on the topic of sustainability, harnessing art’s unique compelling power for the benefit of our precious planet. The theme for this year is Earth, encompassing the planet, the ground beneath our feet, and the ways in which mankind negatively affects the landscape, whether through broken abandoned cities, strip mining, waste dumps or other forms of exploitation. It also refers to the aftermath of natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides and volcanoes. The shortlist of the nominees (Darren Almond, Christopher Anderson, Sammy Baloji, Edward Burtynsky, Andreas Gursky, Naoya Hatakeyama, Nad... - Festival
20ème édition du festival nantais de photographies
Communiqué de presse
Pour ce 20e anniversaire nous avons choisi de poursuivre le mouvement engagé voici plusieurs années, ce questionnement sur la nature humaine, tenter de définir cette condition, en viser les failles et aussi montrer ce qui fait mouvement.
Cette année la QPN se lance à la poursuite du bonheur, cet état ultime, incontestable de l’épanouissement personnel et collectif. Insaisissable et sujet à d’infinies variations, c’est souvent une fois disparu qu’il se révèle à nous ; il est aussi à venir, espéré, recherché. Nous sommes en quête seuls et ensemble.

Exhibition : « Destinerrance » by Edgar Martins
Press release - Edgar Martins has developed an authorial path of recognised singularity through a photographic practice rooted in a reflection upon the contemporary regimes of visuality, the use of photography in an institutional context, and how photography relates with our life and death. The exhibition which Edgar Martins now presents at the José de Guimarães International Arts Centre is the culmination of a project prepared over a long period of time which featured two considerably shorter exhibitions in Lisbon, at the MAAT and at Cristina Guerra Contemporary Art. Martins’ research took him to the Archives of the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences (Portugal), the institution which holds legal jurisdiction over one’s body following death. The resulting visual reflectio... - Exposition

Festival Alt. +1000 à Rossinière
Pour sa quatrième édition dans le village de Rossinière, le festival de photographie contemporaine Alt. +1000 invite des artistes suisses et internationaux à venir présenter leurs œuvres. Les photographies sélectionnées en 2015 s’articulent autour de la notion de territoire, thématique très présente dans l’histoire de la photographie. La question du territoire, du lieu ou bien du paysage évoque une réalité plus complexe qu’elle n’y paraît tant les frontières – symbolisant des limites – restent complexes à distinguer ou à franchir. Qu’ils soient abordés de manière documentaire ou bien conceptuelle, les travaux exposés offrent une lecture ... - Exposition

Les ruines de l'économie immobilière américaine, par Edgar Martins
This is not a House formed part of an assignment for The New York Times Magazine, one that turned into an international controversy.
The US sub-prime mortgage crisis, which has its roots in the closing years of the twentieth century, became apparent in 2007 and exposed pervasive weaknesses as well as deep-rooted inequalities within financial industry regulation and the global financial system. In the winter of 2008, Martins produced a series of photographs that explored the collapse of the US housing market. He photographed abandoned homes, golf courses, ski resorts, hotels and other building projects in sixteen locations, across six separate States.
When the work was finally published in the summer of 2009, it became the focus of a heated debate as a result of Martins’ decision digitally to re... - Exposition
Edgar Martins - The Time Machine
Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2002, Edgar Martins (b.1977) has rapidly become one of the world’s most sought-after artists. Working exclusively with photography, he has gained international critical acclaim with his perplexing yet familiar urban landscapes, presented as visibly artificial, constructed environments. Both his subjects and photographs are typically ambiguous in their representation, prompting a re-evaluation of our understanding of photography and its fragile relationship with reality: ”My images depend on photography’s inherited tendency to make each space believable, but there is a disturbing suggestion that all is not what it seems.”
The Time Machine is a body of previously unseen works, shot between 2010 and 2011. Structured as a topographic survey of h... - Exposition

Prix Pictet 2010 Earth Exhibition
The Prix Pictet is the world’s first prize dedicated to photography. It has a unique mandate – to use the power of photography to communicate powerful messages of global environmental significance. This year the theme is ‘Earth’. The exhibition includes work by the twelve international photographers shortlisted for the 2009 prize:
Food riots. Loss of forest cover. Desertification. The ecosystems we depend on appear to face resource demands already beyond their capacity. As governments try urgently to stimulate growth, a central question remains - can the earth’s complex living systems sustain the future consumption patterns of another three billion people in the world’s population by 2050? The submissions speak of the harmful and often irreversible effects of exploiting the earth&rs... - Exposition
