Water, reviews the evolution and development of the Prix Pictet 2008, presenting text and images to communicate the Prize's global message on the issue of sustainability. The book showcases the 18 shortlisted artists alongside selected photographs by nominated photographers that best represent the vision of the prize and this year's theme of Water. There is a foreword by Kofi Annan, Prix Pictet's Honorary President, and essays by Francis Hodgson and Steven Barber, explaining the inspiration and ambition of the Prix.
The publication is an important asset to the Prix Pictet's environmental projects - in 2008 Pictet & Cie supported a WaterAid project in Bangladesh, which was documented in the Prix Pictet Commission.
