BnF : The Talent Grant : Gabriel Dia, Fragments – Sabar series I Aurélie Scouarnec, Anamnêsis – Feræ series I Yann Datessen, A.R series.

The Talent Grant, created in 1997, has revealed many photographers, who take a unique look at our society and invite us to see it differently. At the origin of the emergence of talents without distinction of age, nationality or background, this Grant was initiated within Photographie.com by Didier de Faÿs, with the support of the Picto Foundation, who produces the prints for the winners. Thanks to the generosity of the photographers and the PICTO laboratory, a set of their prints is added to the collections of the BnF. In fifteen years of partnership, several hundred photographs have thus entered the national heritage, attesting to the liveliness of the contemporary photographic scene. For Didier de Faÿs, the three photographers who were chosen for this 2021 edition “tell all the hope brought to the world after the health crisis. Beyond real or social borders, beyond words and type of photography, these photographers are militant activists of the commonalties that bring us together.”
