ten is a celebration of the outstanding photography showcased by the Prix Pictet from 2008 to 2018.
Prix Pictet invites artists to tackle multi-faceted themes on the topic of sustainability. During its first decade, some 4,200 photographers presented over 28,000 images to the jury, and the public enjoyed 92 exhibitions in 40 cities across the world. Each of the seven cycles unearthed powerful images that speak to today's vast environmental, societal, and cultural challenges.
Readers embark on a poignant visual journey through a carefully curated selection of compelling images, venturing into a world defined by our complex relationship with our environment. The photographs, some of which have not previously been published or exhibited by the Prix Pictet, have been grouped into twelve themes. Photojournalistic or conceptual in nature, the images are fantastically diverse and tell a powerful story of some of the most critical problems facing modern society.
