The International Photography Award – Emergentes dst 2013 was awarded ex-aequo to the Belgian Sanne de Wilde and to the Portuguese Tito Mouraz, an unprecedented decision justified by the brilliance of their respective portfolios presented at the competition.
The award ceremony was held today in Braga, at Theatro Circo, where the jury members also recognized the works of the Japanese David Favrod and of the Spanish photographer Alvaro Laíz.
This fourth edition received 400 applications, most of them from other countries, reinforcing the idea that this event is one of the most important awards in Portugal in the field of photography.
The maturity of this initiative from the dst group in the cultural field can also be observed by the growing international recognition that the event has been achieving, being one of the most innovative initiatives in the field of Visual Arts.
The Belgian Sanne de Wilde, one of the prize winners, was born in 1987 and graduated in Fine Arts at KASK, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent.
She applied to the competition with The Dwarf Empire work, a magic land existing in the Chinese province of Yunnan, close to the beautiful Dianchi Lake, where the dwarves live.
This is the land of Dwarves in the World Ecological Garden of Butterfly, in which its inhabitants are talented and brave. They have their own king and their own capital. As a western and blonde woman, the author moved her attention to eccentric details that suddenly have become her own world.
The other Prize winner is the Portuguese Tito Mouraz. Born in Canas de Senhorim, in 1977, he graduated in Visual Arts and Photography at Oporto Superior School of Arts, the city where he currently lives and works.
He exhibits regularly since 2009, with particular attention to individual exhibitions at Módulo - Centro Difusor de Arte.
His work is also present in the BES Art collection.
Tito Mouraz focuses on photographing the transformed landscape of Portugal, adding notes of deep affection with the people of this land, assigning those images with formal and plastic art content.
In this way, he shows by means of photos what he considers to be difficult to transpose to the film. The personal experience of everything he feels, being driven by an inner motivation full of strong emotions.
The prize, in the amount of 7500 euros, was held at Theatro Circo, in Braga, which gala evening was brighten up by the musician Patrick Wolf, who dazzled the audience with the fusion of electronic sounds and the traditional instruments. Wolf’s styles range from Baroque Chamber music to Electronic Pop.
In a night of thrills, Patrick Wolf has proved to be an extraordinary musician, conquering the audience and thus contributing to the overwhelming of this year’s edition of Emergentes dst Award.
The International Photography AwardEmergentes dst is an initiative from the dst group, with a prize of € 7 500, which aims to reward the best Contemporary Photography Portfolio of 2013.
