US Photographer Mitch Epstein wins 100, 000 dollars of the third Prix Pictet, photography prize for environmental sustainability, with his series American Power.

In presenting the award to Mitch Epstein, Kofi Annan said, “It is difficult to look at this exhibition without being moved, even angered. And yet, however bleak their message, the creativity and spirit of these artists also gives us hope that we, the human race, have the capacity to find, to agree and to realise the answers to these challenges.
