The theme of the 2026 edition of Deloitte’s Photo Grant is Proximities, an invitation to tell and investigate the new forms of distance that characterize our era, a distance that is not only physical but arises from economic polarization, technological mediation, and social fragmentation. Photography can reveal these separations by observing how bodies inhabit spaces and how communities retreat behind screens and rhythms that reduce attention and relationships, highlighting the micro-relationships that endure in everyday life and what remains or disappears in the visible. The theme also invites reflection on what holds communities together despite the pressures of the present, and how photography can make these forms of proximity and distance legible.
