Finbarr O’Reilly
The winner of the Prix Carmignac 2020 is British-Canadian photographer Finbarr O’Reilly, a two-time recipient of the World Press Photo Awards. The Covid-19 crisis thwarted his travel plans but it did inspire a remote collaboration.
“Finbarr O’Reilly transformed his Prix Carmignac into a stimulating collaboration with Congolese photographers.” - Le Monde

Congo today
The result is a very special exhibition that gives us an inside look on Congolese society. Discover how it deals with post-colonial challenges, the ecological impact and the Covid-19 crisis but - above all - marvel at the boundless energy of the young Congolese population.
