Special Mention
Dorian Étienne received a special mention from the jury for Pays'Âges, a remarkable work of textile composition. Through this collective, local and itinerant project, Dorian Étienne has created a collection of large-format tapestries revealing the identity of "at-risk" territories through views from the sky. Produced on site using local and natural materials, the tapestries present the particular features of the region studied, its topography and biodiversity, and capture a crucial moment in ecological disruption.
