The other copy will be available for consultation by the public, in an exhibition at the Parc des Ateliers during the festival from July 1st to September 22nd, 2013. The Rencontres d’Arles are giving a new dimension to the Book Awards, offering the copies presented in the exhibition after the festival to an international cultural institution dedicated to the worldwide photography in order to participate in the creation of a library, each year different. Books received this year will enrich the library of the International Photography Festival of Valparaiso, Chili.
