National Photo Commission
National photography commissions run by Cnap aim to foster the vitality of contemporary creation through this medium.
YIELD Theme sport has current issues and the relationship between this discipline and new representations of the body in motion.
The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Cultural Olympiad give photographers the opportunity to explore this theme.
Objectives of the approach
YIELD wants to initiate the production of new images connected with the world of sports.
Four disciplines were chosen from among the available practices: surfing, skateboarding, rock climbing and breakdancing. Photographers will also be able to explore alternative, informal and even fictional sports.
It is the aim of this approach to emphasize the dynamic relationships that exist between the diversity of photographic and sportive applications.
