After the jury’s deliberation among six finalists, Anna Malagrida received the award on January 20 of this year. In her project, Anna imagines the places “of Paris” as a scenic device in which, from their movement, the characters will become the actors, the reflections of the city mixed with the insides of cafe’s, the decoration; and the words united in the universe of chance, the text.

Through the “Carte Blanche” award, the PMU shows its compromise with contemporary photographic creation, giving carte blanche to the artists so they can take their vision into the universe of chance.

For the seventh edition, the PMU has launched an open call to any professional photographer or artist. The winner will get a prize of 20,000 euros for the realization of an unpublished project, a book from Filigranes publishing and an exhibition in the Photographic Gallery of the Centre Pompideu from September 28^th to October 17^th 2016.

The Photographic Gallery is an open space of the Centre Pompideu of free entrance and dedicated exclusively to photography. This new gallery of 200 m2 wants to open the richness of the photographic collection of the Centre Pompideu to the public, conformed by more than 40,000 pieces and more than 60,000 negatives.

“Anna Malagrida opens a window to a space that confronts the urban and the human and proposes a sensible interpretation of a social link form that unites behind the windows” Benoît Cornu, Communications Director of the PMU, president of the jury.
