Winner of the 2010 European Publishers Award for Photography, Christophe Agou, is noted for his personal documentary-style in both black-and-white and colour photography. His intimate images both haunt and intrigue - and create an intensely rich, layered, visual language that triggers thoughts and emotions. Agou moved to New York in 1992 and came to prominence with a compelling body of work made in the New York Subway. This was published as 'Life Below' in 2004. He was a finalist for the prestigious Eugene Smith Award (2006), for Le Prix de la Photographie de l'Academie des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2008) and received a 'Mention Speciale' for le Prix Kodak de la Critique Photographique (2009). His photographs have been widely published and exhibited at MOMA, New York; Jeu de Paume, Paris; The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston; The Museum of American History, Washington D.C; The Museum of Art Pilar & Joan Miro, Majorca; The Santa Fe Center for Visual Arts; Les Rencontres D'Arles, France and Noorderlicht Fotofestival, The Netherlands.

Born and brought up in the region until the age of 16, this is an area for which photographer Christophe Agou still retains a deep affection. He travelled to the lesser-known parts of the region, where he felt inspired by the silence and moved by the authenticity and charisma of the people he encountered. Over time, and through the gradual process of building trust and friendship, the farmers and their families accepted him and allowed him to both photograph and film their daily existence. The challenge was to go beyond just documenting their labour-intensive lives and present a deeper, more intimate portrait. For Agou, the resultant work is a meditation on life and death as well as the silence and solitude that are ever-present in our lives.
