Prix des Pyrénées – One question, one image
Photography was once a cultural technique that made reality visible. It was witness, archive, dissent, and proof. Today, surface, style, and effects dominate. Images aim to please rather than to reveal. The Prix des Pyrénées takes a stand against this development.
We believe in photography as a tool for thinking and for making visible. In photography that is necessary — not decorative. That is why we ask three questions that do not seek beauty, but relevance:
What is real?
What connects us?
What is at stake?
The Prix des Pyrénées invites photographers to remember their task:
to make the world visible, not merely to produce images.
To submit a single image that answers a question — not a surface.
We do not need new trends.
We need new visibilities.
