Mimosa Échard
Prix Marcel Duchamp
Mimosa Échard's multidisciplinary practice bridges the surreal, mechanical, and terrestrial in pursuit of plant and human symbiosis. Échard has a research-led practice that spans assemblage, painting, ceramics, and video games. For the Prix Marcel Duchamp, she designed what she calls an "ambiguous architectural object," an uninterrupted water screen reminiscent of human liquids — blood, tears, and urine. "I’ve wanted to work with water screens for a long time, I’ve been thinking about this piece for a long time, you could say it’s a liquid painting, but it’s also an encrypted image, it’s also an inaccessible space," she said in a statement. A video of a woman, flitting in and out of frame, plays behind the falling water.

Dora Jeridi
Bourse Révélations Emerige
The painter Dora Jeridi won the Bourse Révélations Emerige this year. Drawing on the richness of art history, the practice of the young French graduate of the Beaux-arts de Paris is at the crossroads of influences. From the monumental formats of her diptychs inherited from classical painting to the central place played by narration in her paintings, testifying in particular to her fascination for the work of the artist Paula Rego, the 34-year-old artist delivers a hybrid work on the technical side. Her practice mixes oil painting and pastel drawing, which are superimposed in an explosion of shapes, colors and materials.

Haegue Yang
Benesse Prize
South Korean artist Haegue Yang has won the 13th Benesse Prize, which goes to a participant in the Singapore Biennale. Yang exhibited sculptures of otherworldly beings as part of her ongoing series The Intermediates, which she started in 2015. Handles on the sculptures allow them to be moved, ringing bells reminiscent of those used in spiritual rituals. The jury said Yang had demonstrated cross-cultural knowledge and a moving regard for materiality and tradition in works expressed through a playful visual language.

Grand Prix du jury Première Vision
Prix du public de la ville de Hyères
Jenny Hytönen, 25-year-old Finnish artist and designer, won the Grand Prix du jury Première Vision and the Prix du public de la ville de Hyères. Her subversive approach to clothing, enhanced by exceptional know-how, won over a jury presided by Glenn Martens, the creative director of Y/Project and Diesel. In her collection with punk accents, the designer played on the contrasts between armor and sensuality. The fabrics, sometimes fluid, sometimes very rigid, compose silhouettes with an assumed BDSM spirit, where rivers of pearls, devastating nudity, outrageous transparency and abundance of studs mingle.

Grand Prix du jury Accessoires de Mode
Joshua Cannone won the Grand Prix du jury Accessoires de Mode headed by Aska Yamashita, artistic director of Montex. It is with a collection of mysterious and disturbing bags that the young French designer of 23 years old caught the attention of the jury, between bags looking like voodoo dolls, silicone bags in the shape of rats and decorated with human hair, or a black leather backpack, made of a single skin, with an excessive size.

Grand Prix du jury Photographie
Prix du public de la ville de Hyères
Rala Choi won the Grand Prix du jury Photographie presided by visual artist Pierre Debusschere and the Prix du public de la ville de Hyères. The South Korean photographer was awarded for his shots in saturated colors whose models seem frozen out of time. His pictures, like paintings, represent people from behind, vulnerable and poetic, inspired by the work of Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Moreau or Edward Hopper.
