Human- Prix Pictet International Photography Prize Exhibition

The only Italian stop of the tenth edition of the Prix Pictet, Human, will be at the Palazzo della Gran Guardia in Verona, which also hosted the exhibition in 2021, for the eighth edition dedicated to hope.

Each edition of the Prize addresses a specific theme related to sustainability.

This tenth edition has been preceded by: Water, Hearth, Growth, Power, Consumption, Disorder, Space, Fire and Hope.

The current theme is a study of the consequences of various human actions such as creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship on living conditions on the planet.

Isabelle von Ribbentrop, Executive Director of the Prix Pictet, states: “Our bet with posterity is that human ingenuity, intelligence, and resilience of spirit are strong enough to insist on a very different future for human history.”

The winner of the 10th edition of the Prix Pictet is Indian Gauri Gill, who has been dedicated for over twenty years to the communities living in the deserts of India and is a spokesperson for representatives of indigenous art from Maharashtra.

In the context of the Prix Pictet, the People’s Choice Award has been inaugurated, allowing the public to vote for their favorite series of photographs.
The winner was Colombian Federico Ríos Escobar, who captures the heartbreaking reality of South American children of migrants undertaking the perilous journey through the Darién Gap, a difficult crossing at the border between Colombia and Panama.
