Mathieu Pernot – Winner of the HCB Award 2019

Following the deliberations held on June, 7 2019 at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, the jury of the HCB Award 2019 selected the French photographer Mathieu Pernot for his Le Grand Tour project. His application was presented by Jérôme Sother, Centre d’art GwinZegal.

Presented by the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, the HCB Award supports the creation of a photography project which could not be achieved without this help. It is intended for a photographer who has already completed a significant body of work, close to the documentary approach.

This project will be exhibited at the Fondation HCB and published as a book in the spring 2021.
