Prize-winner Ana\u00efs Oudart “H\u00e9ro\u00efnes 17”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cphilosophy\u201d adopted by Prix Caritas Photo Sociale does not promote any particular photographic genre, processing or method. The prize can be awarded for documentary and reportage work, as well as for more contemporary, artistic and conceptual writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choices made by the 2023 jury illustrate the diversity of aesthetic proposals for tackling poverty, precarity and exclusion situations in France, with three different viewpoints that ultimately complement each other and highlight the status of current photography and its possibilities. Ana\u00efs Oudart, this year’s winner, analysed and investigated a new situation. Observing that the health crisis exacerbated family crises, that<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

many young people, including minors, were forced out of their homes, and that 40% of homeless people under the age of 25 come from the Children’s Social Welfare system, she looked into the critical situation faced by young women as a result of these circumstances.  \u201cI decided to talk about the difficulties they face as adults while trying to make their way through life, without parents or family. Many of them lived or are still living in precarious housing, some were homeless, others turned to prostitution as a way out. Despite the lack of support and accommodation, they keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternating between formal portraits and symbolic images, Ana\u00efs Oudart’s photographs, showcasing a masterful use of colour, transform these young women into strong characters, \u201cheroines\u201d as she calls them. Through photography, she restores their dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Leduc \u00ab Ailleurs ici \u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While waiting for their fate to be sealed by the French Immigration Authorities, around fifty people are being housed in the Centre d’accueil pour demandeurs d’asile (Cada \u2013 Reception Centre for Asylum-Seekers) of Lagrasse, in Occitania. They come from Somalia, Mali, C\u00f4te d’Ivoire, Algeria, Turkey, Iran or Albania. This small village in Corbi\u00e8res has a strong reception tradition. In 1983, the people residing in Lagrasse opened their arms to the \u201cboat people\u201d, Cambodian, Laotian and Vietnamese refugees fleeing the Khmer Rouge dictatorship. Since then, migrants regularly come and go, whilst waiting for the procedure to be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using basic and simple colours, Sarah Leduc, in line with traditional photojournalism, documents the daily lives of these people as they wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mat Jacob \u00abThierry et la violence du monde\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThierry is homeless. For 25 years, he has roamed around France, carrying his home on his back, after leaving everything behind and cutting all ties with his family, his job and the institutions. Mat Jacob explains his approach: \u201cI came across him in the middle of a pandemic, a sad time when people from all walks of life were drifting apart and protecting themselves from others. Relationships hardened, and even more so for marginal people. Isolation echoed even louder. Living conditions became more fragile. I took Thierry in for a while, and a bond was forged. We agreed that I would hit the roads with him, bearing witness to what it was like to live on the streets, in that world, during those times. He gave me his consent, then shortly afterwards he disappeared. He chose another path. I went looking for him in the department of Doubs and the town of Besan\u00e7on, the last place he was seen. A quest into the world of the homeless, those who call city streets their home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a background in photojournalism, Mat Jacob developed a classic black-and-white style, which is part of a long-standing tradition within social photography. However, he made it more complex by organising his photographs in sequences and montages, whilst adding text to the prints themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
