The Winners
|
 |
| |
| João Seguro |
| Project "90º", which combines scenes shot from the air showing flashes of events set by the artist to occur simultaneously on the ground. |
| |
|
|
 |
| |
| Ramiro Guerreiro |
| Installation project where a construction obstructs full access to a projection of slides. The artist photographed himself wedged inside narrow cracks of modern buildings which were obviously not intended to accommodate the human body, and he forces the viewer to access the full image in order to experience the same physical experience, in an exercise between gymnastics and yoga. |

|
 |
| |
| Carlos Lobo |
| Shows indoor images of desolate spaces and objects out of context in a neutral and almost clinical manner, devoid of any dramatic feeling (the light, for instance, is homogeneous all over). |
| |
|
|
 |
| |
| Sylvie Rouquet |
| Project that combines photos with text under the title "On Habit", and plays with the contrast between a neutral (almost advertisory) depiction of everyday life, intimate objects, with short biographical texts of great clarity and neatness which allude to specific and eminently personal habits in the use of common objects. |
