Since 2005, the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland, has staged an exhibition every five years to review tendencies and to look at perspectives in contemporary photography. reGeneration 4, the exhibition's 2020 edition (from 27 May to 6 September 2020), and the new book accompanying it again features works by emerging international photographic artists. The curators-editors have also asked the participants of the previous editions of 2005, 2010, and 2015 for a statement about their individual artistic evolution. Environmentalism, social equality and inclusion, digitalisation, and securing their own livelihood appear to be their key topics and practical challenges. The book presents these insights alongside depictions of the works by 35 artists selected for reGeneration 4. Brief texts as well as an introductory essay round out this volume. Text in English and French.

The Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, one of the most renowned photography museums in Europe, has awarded the Prix Elysée biannually since 2014. Young photo artists are invited to submit a photo book project with the prize being the realisation of the winning submission, which constitutes a major step in an artist-photographer’s career. This book documents the Prix Elysée’s fourth edition. It features the work submitted by the eight nominees Alexa Brunet, Arguine Escandón & Yann Gross, Magali Koenig, Thomas Mailaender, Moises Saman, Assaf Shoshan, Alys Tomlinson, and Kurt Tong. Sketches, first drafts, and photographic studies illustrate the progress of their projects, from initial concept to image selection and design. Conversations with the artists published alongside reflect on their close collaboration with the museum and expand on the visual portfolios. The individual creative process thus becomes visible, and at the same time, a cross-section of contemporary art photography production emerges. Text in English and French.
