"F.U.N.G.I. presents a 'new collection' of fungi based on different parameters than the strickly scientific or botanical. The work crosses boundaries between science and art and touches upon questions relating to existential eclogy, time and the phenomenology of images, as well as the significance of fungi to our lives and planet, on our codependence with nature and on the opportunities it gives us to correct our wrongs if we look for them."

Extract from Nicolai Howalt – F.U.N.G.I., Editions Photo Elysée, 2023.

The result of a partnership between Photo Elysée and Parmigiani Fleurier, the Prix Elysée is an award that supports production in the field of photography.

Published by Photo Elysée, eight publications present the projects of the eight nominees of the Prix Elysée 2022-2024: Vincen Beeckman, Debi Cornwall, Siân Davey, Nicolai Howalt, Khashayar Javanmardi, Alice Mann, Gloria Oyarzabal and Virginie Rebetez. Designed by the designer Ramon Pez and printed by L'Artiere Edizioni in Bologna, each of these booklets promotes the work in progress for the Prix Elysée and offers an original entry into the personal world of the eight photographers.
