For its third edition, the Maison Ruinart Prize is awarded this year to the Congolese photographer Gosette Lubondo. The prize, awarded by Ruinart with the support of the Picto Foundation, recognizes an emerging photographer selected within the Curiosa section of Paris Photo.

The series of works was born out of her confrontation with the places in which the process of creating champagne wines takes place. The title of the series, Manu solerti ("with an expert hand"), translates the savoir-faire of the men and women who work to make champagne.
