reGeneration: 50 Photographers of Tomorrow

What are young photographers up to at the outset of the twenty-first century? How do they see the world? How much do they respect, build on or reject tradition? Are they busy in the darkroom or in the computer lab–or both? reGeneration sets out to discover answers to these intriguing questions, previewing the work of 50 photographers who may well emerge as some of the finest of their generation. This remarkable book, the broadest and most enterprising survey of its kind, showcases the creativity, ingenuity and inspiration of these up-and-coming artists in over 200 superb images. Curators at the world-renowned Musee de l’Elysee in Lausanne, France, selected the featured photographers from hundreds of candidates submitted by more than 60 of the world’s top photography schools. The panel’s choice was made with one key question in are these images likely to be known in 20 years’ time? The results show that, as the new century builds momentum, the art of photography is alive and well, and photographers of extraordinary talent are already making their mark.
