Climate-related disasters catch his attention, as shown in his series Tsunami (2004), carried out in Indonesia, and Haiti (2010-2011). Ecological changes also feature in his concerns: climate warming in Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s Far North (2005) or the 2007 food crisis in Egypt. Benoit Aquin won the Prix Pictet in 2008 for pictures from his series The Chinese Dust Bowl (2006-2007).<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/2024.photogaspesie.ca\/en\/portfolio\/benoit-aquin-in-bonavanture\/\">the artist\u2019s profile<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rencontres is welcoming Montreal photographer Benoit Aquin on the occasion of an artist residency in the Gasp\u00e9 from July 20 to August 3.
