Villa Pérochon | Encounters of Young International Photography Residency
Residency in France for emerging international contemporary photographers
The residency of the Encounters of Young International Photography takes place in Niort, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The location of Niort, near the Atlantic coast between Nantes and Bordeaux, makes it the gateway to the “green Venice”, the maze-like canals of the Poitevin Marshes.
Every year, emerging international photographers with the most diverse approaches, are selected on the basis of their application contents to participate in the creative residency and are accompanied throughout their stay by a major figure in con- temporary photography, this year’s guest of honour being Kourtney Roy.
The chosen participants are provided with full technical support from the team of the Villa Pérochon, Centre for Contemporary Photographic Art managed by the association Pour l’Instant. A technical centre, including a black and white darkroom and digital workshop, both equipped with professional equipment, is reserved for their use. With all this backing, the artists are free to create and experiment, given absolute carte blanche and further stimulated through meetings, sharing of experiences and exposure to the highly diverse approaches of other participants, all of which amounts to a truly unique artistic experience.
