The End? Tourism and health crises
A relevant theme and a fruitful and renewed collaboration between Sorbonne Artgallery and IREST.
Since 2020, COVID-19 pandemic had a strong impact on the tourism sector, its players, and the practices and imaginations of travellers. The theme of this edition of the IREST photo competition thus invites photographers to question themselves and testify the changing that are taking place in tourism and the problems that theses crises accentuate ang bring light to . Their eyes accompany us on a journey through contradictions, fears, desires, a new form of tourists and those that will remain the same. Tourism is taking a new shape which persists, which reproduces itself identically, but also which can be reinvented in different spaces, other places.
