Book Description
- For the ninth time, the Prix Pictet honors the most impressive photographs of our society and environment - A powerful collection of photographic art, compelling for anyone interested in sustainability, climate change, and biodiversity - Following the award ceremony and exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, in December 2021, further exhibitions follow in New York and other cities around the globe Fire is the fourth element. It destroys and creates something new. In its heat, colors, and magnitude, it provides a terrifying spectacle as much as an existential threat. Today, it speaks as much to the fragility of human structures as to the damage wrought on nature: the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, forest fires from the Amazon to Australia, and infernos in California so colossal that the sky turned red. Reason enough for the Prix Pictet, the world's leading award for photography and sustainability, to dedicate this year's photo book to the many facets of fire. Selected by photography experts from around the world, this impressive publication features over 100 images from the Prix Pictet shortlist and beyond. As compelling in its visuals as it is in its messaging, this is an unforgettable document of an elemental force, and of the increasing extremes of climate change.

Book Description
*The finest contemporary photography that grapples with our planet's future *The winner will be chosen from the shortlist in March 2011 The Prix Pictet, launched by the Swiss Private Bank Pictet & Cie, showcases photography that deals with the key issue of global sustainability. Now in its third cycle, the current Prix Pictet highlights the theme of growth. Although an engine for economic development, growth (in excess) can compromise human existence and endanger the planet. This controversial topic is explored in depth by the many artists who were nominated for the Prize and by the twelve talented artists who the expert independent jury shortlisted for the award. The results of unbridled growth and ceaseless development are portrayed to thought-provoking and aesthetic effect. The twelve shorlist photographers are: Christian Als, Edward Burtynsky, Stéphane Couturier, Mitch Epstein, Chris Jordan, Yeondo Jung, Vera Lutter, Nyaba Leon Ouedraogo, Taiyn Struch, Thomas Struth, Guy Tillim, and Michael Wolf. ILLUSTRATIONS: 72 colour & 11 b/w photographs

Book Description
In 'Another Way of Looking at Love', the landscape is explored as a metaphor to consider the personal, societal, and environmental consequences of disconnection, and simultaneously, our yearning to be connected. From 2015-2018, Janelle Lynch (born 1969) has used an 8 x 10 camera to create still lives in the landscape that combine similar and disparate visual and biological elements. This process begins by identifying details in nature that, based on a unique vantage point, created geometric formations of closure. The connective point, or nucleus, that is created by the union becomes the artist?s plane of focus. The work is informed by Lynch?s recent immersion in drawing and painting from perception, primarily by charcoal mark-making?a new aspect of her practice that has allowed for a deeper inquiry into the nature of seeing, such as: formal abstraction, color relativity, and the notion of relationality.

Book Description
Wir feiern zu Recht menschliche Kreativität, Innovation und Unternehmertum, doch allzu oft sind unsere Erfolge in Wissenschaft und Technologie mit einem enormen Preis für unsere Umwelt und damit auch unsere Zukunft verbunden. Die menschliche Geschichte war weitaus häufiger von Konflikten und Verzweiflung als von Fürsorge, Liebe und Koexistenz geprägt – es wäre ein Leichtes, sie als eine Geschichte tragischer Hybris zu lesen. Doch die Geschichte ist hier nicht zu Ende. Wir stehen an der Schwelle zur Zukunft und fragen uns, wie die Würfel fallen werden. Wir wetten mit der Nachwelt, dass der menschliche Einfallsreichtum, die Intelligenz und Anpassungsfähigkeit stark genug sein werden, um eine ganz andere Zukunft hervorzubringen. Prix Pictet. Human zeigt über 100 herausragende Werke zeitgenössischer Fotografie von vielen der weltweit renommiertesten Fotograf*innen, die sich mit dem bewusst weitgefassten und ambivalenten Themenkomplex konzeptuell auseinandersetzen.
