This book offers an invigorating overview of some sixty photographers from Generation Z, born between the mid 1990s and 2010, whose work reflects an urgent need for representation and a desire to tell their own stories in a constantly changing world.

In contrast to the fleeting stream of images circulating on social media, these artists produce thoughtful, liberated, and critical works that deconstruct visual norms, challenge dominant narratives, and invent new iconographies. Whether they live in Shanghai, Cape Town, Amsterdam, Paris, Lausanne, London, New York, or Delhi, for them, photography serves as a powerful medium for expressing personal stories and a vibrant collective energy.

Gen Z: Shaping a New Gaze offers an intimate look into the concerns of a generation that is questioning the world as much as it is seeking its place in it.

"Young people don't know how to pretend. They voice their doubts out loud. They raise their fists, draw, protest, cling, embrace, destroy, create, explode with joy, or yield under the weight of melancholy. They unapologetically exist." — Salomé Saqué
