Since 2005, the Musée de l'Elysée in
Lausanne, Switzerland, has staged an exhibition every five years to
review tendencies and to look at perspectives in contemporary
photography. reGeneration 4, the exhibition's 2020 edition
(from 27 May to 6 September 2020), and the new book accompanying it
again features works by emerging international photographic artists.
The
curators-editors have also asked the participants of the previous
editions of 2005, 2010, and 2015 for a statement about their individual
artistic evolution. Environmentalism, social equality and inclusion,
digitalisation, and securing their own livelihood appear to be their key
topics and practical challenges. The book presents these insights
alongside depictions of the works by 35 artists selected for reGeneration 4. Brief texts as well as an introductory essay round out this volume.
