Prix Dior 2025 The Art of Color
26.02–27.03.2026
Gallery l'elac, ECAL

Created in 2018 in partnership with LUMA Arles and ENSP Arles, the Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award for Young Talents aims to reveal young photographers and/or videographers while fostering an essential dialogue with leading international photography and art schools.

This exhibition presents the works of emerging international artists, brought together around the theme “Face-to-face”, exploring the relationships between form, color, and identity through photography and video.

Following its presentation in Arles, this 8th edition highlights a new generation of talented creators, whose works demonstrate remarkable artistic mastery, combining formal freedom with creative maturity. Among the laureates, ECAL graduates Sara De Brito Faustino and Aline Savioz stand out for their deeply personal and imaginative universes.

In A Home With No Roof, Sara De Brito Faustino explores her past and the intimate space of her childhood through miniature models of her home, confronting memories and traumas with a creative distance that allows objects, bodies, and space to engage in dialogue. Each image becomes a hybrid staging, between refuge and threat, enabling a silent confrontation with personal history and a path toward self-reconciliation.

For her part, Aline Savioz presents Alien Love Call, a series of six images inspired by 1950s cinema, 1970s design, and science fiction. Her retro-futuristic narrative depicts a love story between two extraterrestrials, blending nostalgia for an idealized future with a fantastical universe. The images, shot in medium-format film, create a visual refuge where romance and imagination flourish within a setting that is at once familiar and unreal.
