With the fotoprize, fotofever promotes young artists and highlights the talents of tomorrow. This contest is opened to graduates of French art schools and offers them the opportunity to unleash their creativity through the medium of photography. For this 4th edition, fotofever is pleased to reveal the name of the 2015 winner: Juliette-Andréa Elie.
The selection committee, composed of Nathalie Gallon (artistic director), Ericka Weidmann (Head Editor of L’Oeil de la Photographie), Laure Fauvel (2014 winner), Baudoin Lebon (Gallery Owner), Éric Karsenty (Head Editor at Fisheye), Olivier Conan (President of coandco Agency) and Jean-François Camp (CEO of the Laboratoire Central Dupon Images), met on March 30th and selected Juliette- Andréa Elie’s Fading Landscapes series among over sixty candidates.
In her series Fading landscapes, inspired by her travels, Juliette-Andréa reveals how one’s travel memories influences the landscapes from which she produces distorted pictorial images. By a subtle play of photographic overlays, forms arise from the image. Photographs printed on tracing paper and embossed drawings creates a halo of ghostly and nebulous forms, which materializes the atmosphere. These translucent images question the photographic medium to reveal the passing of time and the changing of the worlds. Juliette- Andréa Elie positions herself in a plastic approach which reaches beyond the captured moment: through her prints on tracing paper which are then worked with a dry point, each image becomes unique.
Come and discover the fotofever winner during the 4th edition of fotofever paris from November 13th to 15th at the Carrousel du Louvre, where she will have carte blanche to curate her own exhibition. She will also be presenting a solo show early 2016 at the parisian gallery Baudoin Lebon.
