Christopher Barraja
Premier Prix
Grand Prix de la Photographie de Mode
Christopher Barraja is a 25-year-old photographer born in Nice. He began by studying architecture in Marseille, then decided to continue his studies at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris where he developed his photographic practice. A stroke at the age of 20 made him more attentive to invisible things, allowing him to create a discussion with the inanimate objects of his surroundings. He graduated in 2020 with a book project De Chlore et de Rosé, which will be presented this year at the Hyères festival, of which Christopher Barraja is one of the finalists.

Camille Brasselet is a 25-year-old photographer from Rouen. In 2015 she studied at the École des beaux- arts in Saint-Brieuc where she experimented with painting, drawing, modeling and especially photography. She then decided to move to Lyon to study photography. In 2021 she produced her first book The Sound of Silence published by Editions Bessard. Her work navigates around the body and the character, mixing both pictorial references and a certain form of strangeness.

Troisième Prix
Dotation Filippo Roversi
Antoine Henault was born in Paris in 1992 and grew up in the French countryside, hence a certain bucolic motif that will permeate his photographs. His work retains a trace of childhood, of its sweetness idealized by memory. The color and the movements of the sun are joyful obsessions, subjects of continual re-enchantment, offering the possibility of creating spaces that do not exist in reality. These contemplative portraits with meticulous compositions tell of the complicity between human beings and nature.

Gaby Sahhar
The Kooples Art Prize
Kim Farkas and Gaby Sahhar are the winners of the first edition of The Kooples Art Prize, which supports the emerging international art scene. Kim Farkas draws on counter-cultures and his own Peranakan heritage (descendants of the first Chinese immigrants who settled in the British colonies of the Straits of Malacca, Penang and Singapore) to stage the mechanisms of accumulation of capitalism and the phenomena of material appropriation. Gaby Sahhar, who runs the LGBTQIA + artist support platform Queerdirect, questions the way in which queer identity, gender and sexuality can be expressed and manifested in the public space, using ink techniques, painting, video and installation.
