Edition 2011
SFR Gallery Young photo talents
For this 7 th edition, SFR Young Talent is presenting six photographers from the competition SFR organised for the 2011 Rencontres d’Arles. This year’s theme was 'South of the Gaze' and it reveals different photographers' quests either within home frontiers or like some, back from journeys into Latino culture, in other universes. The prize-winners' pictures, whether documentary or plastic art, reflect the day to day variety of blended lives. The twenty- three year old Belgian photographer Marin Hock, SFR Young Talent prize-winner for 2011, demonstrates a double talent as art and documentary photographer. His work on the hospital centre is evidence of this duality: on the one hand, a remarkable photographic presence and, at the same time, a strongly artistic approach that enriches the whole of the series. The exhibition will be accompanied by a selection of photographs by the patron of the 2011 SFR Young Photo Talent Prize, Patrick Tournebœuf.
Exhibition venue: couvent Saint-Césaire.
