Dior photography prize asks young creatives to come ‘face-to-face’ with the future
Shortlisted and winning photography’What emerged from these young graduates’ entries is their outlook into the future, and the depth of this within their creations,’ continues Fusso. Yet, while these young artists are united in their anxious preoccupation with what’s ahead, the work they produce is enlivened by that anxiety rather than dampened by it.
With this year’s theme of ‘Face-to-Face’, the jury encouraged the nominees to confront their subject matter through the camera – whether that be military and ethnographic archives from the Amazon featured in the work of photographer Emilio Azevedo, or Sul Youngjoo’s tender portraits of her peers. ‘I synthesise the mediums of costume, still and moving image to study people and places. I aim to engage with our psychological entanglement with garments,’ she continues.
‘I used the theme of Face-to-Face to continue these explorations, investigating the boundaries between fantasy and real self, performance and authenticity.’ The winner of this year’s prize is London-based photographer Rachel Fleminger Hudson, whose dreamlike imagery is heavily influenced by the aesthetics of the 1970s. Through costume and image, Fleminger Hudson examines how we construct our perceptions of the past and ourselves through aesthetic objects and representations.
The result is a captivating portfolio of work with a surrealist playfulness and contemplative seriousness. Says Fusso, ’I was drawn to the different feelings within Rachel’s work; sadness, compassion and the simplicity of daily life.’ §
