OpenWalls Arles Vol.4 Winners

British Journal of Photography and Galerie Huit Arles are thrilled to announce the winners of OpenWalls Arles Vol.4

From British Journal of Photography in collaboration with Galerie Huit Arles, OpenWalls Arles is an international photography award designed to elevate the careers of emerging and established photographers by exhibiting their work in the prestigious and historic location of Arles.

The winners of OpenWalls Arles 2022 include 50 winning single images and two winning series.

For the fourth edition of the award, 50 winning single images and two series respond to the theme of Truth. ​​As we reflect on the past two years, we have to consider the extent to which our individual realities have changed. The camera has a unique ability to capture fleeting moments that otherwise would be gone forever, the image acting as a relic of the past. 

The exhibition will take place at Galerie Huit Arles from 5 July to 23 September 2023.
