Following the success of the first reGeneration project in 2005, which surveyed fifty emerging photographers from around the world, reGeneration2 brings together eighty up-and-coming artists from thirty countries working in the medium of photography. Selected by curators from The Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland from hundreds of entries submitted by the world’s top Photography schools, the compiled works look to the future of the medium as well as showcase artists whom will be redefining it.

Aperture published the US edition of reGeneration and will be releasing reGeneration2: Tomorrow’s Photographers Today in the fall of 2010. An exhibition of images from reGeneration2 recently opened at The Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne this weekend and will remain on view through September.
