PICTO LAB is a residency programme that offers one artist per year the opportunity to receive support for experimentation, creation and production for a period of three months (May-June-July) in Paris within the PICTO network of laboratories and production workshops.
For this PICTO LAB programme, the Picto Foundation has joined forces with various partners who support and help promote the work produced by the artist in residence. These partners are the salon a ppr oc he, of Fujifilm, Nielsen and rentingART.
PICTO LAB aims to facilitate the development of new projects, in particular by giving photographers the opportunity to test techniques and protocols and exploit them in unexpected ways in order to push boundaries or explore new possibilities in terms of images and their formal rendering.
PICTO LAB offers photographers and artists in residence, in collaboration with the artisans of the PICTO laboratories, the opportunity to explore the possibilities of the various skills available through experimentation.
PICTO LAB is also a space for photographers to meet and connect with professionals who can contribute to the development of their work or interact with the project that is the subject of the residency.
Applications must be sponsored by an organisation (art centre, institution, gallery, etc.) and sent before 27 January 2026 inclusive.
