EURAZEO_REGISTRATION_DOCUMENT_2017

Eurazeo has supported photography for fifteen years. In 2010, Eurazeo created a photography competition to reward the work of a professional or student photographer on an annual theme. This prize covers all the fields of photography and is open to all types of photographer. The 2017 prizewinner, whose photos are presented in the pages of our 2017 annual review, is Gilles Coulon. His work offers an original, intriguing, and enigmatic vision of this year’s theme “Re-enchanting the Corporate World.” Born in 1966, Gilles Coulon has been a member of the Tendance Floue collective since 1996. In 1997, he was awarded the World Press Photo First Prize in the “Daily Life” category for his work on the nomadic tribes of Mali and Mauritania. http://tendancefloue.net/gillescoulon/bio/ On the “Re-enchanting the Corporate World” theme, Gilles Coulon explains: “To capture this idea, I looked at the corporation as a place, an entity, as both a theatre and an actor in this process. Like a silent character, biding his time before resuming his role to say what has been forgotten. What if the corporate world’s re-enchantment was simply restoring its meaning, its humanity? Rousing sleeping giants, breathing life into bygone castles. Shining a light and seeing the resurrection of these buildings, their transformation into living workspaces.”
