For its first edition, the Thinking Sustainability Prize rewarded the Peruvian artist Ana Elisa Sotelo. Nature and human interaction with the natural world are central themes in Ana Elisa Sotelo’s work.
Thinking Sustainability is an international program created in 2024 by Audrey Bazin, artistic director of the Louis Roederer Foundation, and designed to respond to perpetual changes in perspectives and situations related to sustainable development. It is structured around two main axes:
– The Thinking Sustainability Prize which rewards a photographer who addresses an issue linked to sustainable development, through the prism of the natural sciences or that of the human sciences. The prize fund is set at 8,000 euros, to which is added the commission of a critical text written by an art historian from the same continent as the winning photographer.
– The Thinking Sustainability Research section which brings together a selection of texts from thinkers and researchers from around the world that the Foundation has invited to write on the subject of their choice.
Discover the photographic and research work brought together in the Thinking Sustainability booklet and on the Thinking Sustainability website.
