Congratulations to Cloé Harent, winner of the Prix du Jury Tremplin Jeunes Talents 2024
The Planches Contact 2024 jury, chaired by photographer Sarah Moon, awarded the Prix du Jury Tremplin Jeunes Talents 2024 on Saturday October 26 to Cloé HARENT, captivated by the power and fragility of biodiversity on the Normandy foreshore.
Composed of eminent figures from the world of photography, the jury carefully studied the 280 entries received this year and selected five photographers for their talent and singular vision: Nicola Fioravanti, Cloé Harent, Maximilien Schaeffer, Rachel Seidu and Marie Wengler. Among them, the work of Cloé Harent particularly caught the jury's attention, thanks to its spontaneity and creativity, allowing us to contemplate iodized micro-landscapes, natural creations of the living world.
" With Cloé Harent, the infinitely small, mollusks, lichens and anemones of Deauville come to life. In spaces never before explored by young talent: the "estrans", the "laisse de mer". This poetic space to which the waves give up and maintain a whole tiny life, a strange witness of a geological time.. " The 2024 jury
" As soon as I arrived, Laura Serani, whom I consider an "Italian mother", took me arm in arm for a stroll along the beach. I was amazed by the shells, which I'm not used to seeing in the South-West, without yet knowing that they would become the subject of my series. This residency is a real gift: exchanging with photographers from all horizons every morning is a priceless opportunity that nourishes and inspires. With the InCadaquès festival on the horizon, I've already got a natural location in mind, but I'm still open to the surprises I might discover there. "
