Lili Reynaud Dewar
Prix Marcel Duchamp
Born in 1975, Lili Reynaud Dewar draws on the history of militant and alternative cultures that she has been able to summon up in particular through figures such as Joséphine Baker, Guillaume Dustan, Jean Genet and Cosey Fanni Tutti. Her work mainly takes the form of performances, sculptures, videos and installations. On the occasion of the Prix Marcel Duchamp, her project "Rome, 1 and 2 November 1975", initiated while she was a resident at the Villa Médicis, looks back on the last days of the filmmaker and writer Pier Paolo Pasolini, from his last interview to his assassination. About twenty people close to the artist embody the filmmaker and the young Giuseppe Pelosi in a choral video installation, sliding from the director's fate to the journeys of those who bring him back to life today.

Grafton Architects
RIBA Stirling Prize
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has named Kingston University London – Town House designed by Grafton Architects, as the winner of the 25th RIBA Stirling Prize. The building contains the university's main library and archive, as well as a theatre, dance studios, teaching spaces and cafes. It is fronted by a distinctive, 200-metre-long, multi-level colonnade made from reconstituted stone to recall the facade of the neighbouring Surrey County Council building. The building designed to be a welcoming, homely space for students is arranged around a statement staircase that rises to the top and a series of large open communal spaces.

Hugo Capron
Bourse Révélations Emerige
Born in 1989, French artist Hugo Capron lives and works in Dijon. After completing a residency at Villa Kujoyama, Japan, from which he returned in 2019, the artist trained as a printer. He resolutely embraced painting as a vocation. In his recent figurative canvases, he has taken on a classic genre, still life, but precisely on an underexploited motif: the fruit of fishing, fish and shellfish. The young artist sublimates them and transforms them through the use of large format, adding a touch of fantasy, putting the subject at a distance.

Ifeanyi Okwuadi
Grand Prix du jury Première Vision
British menswear designer Ifeanyi Okwuadi won the Grand Prix du jury Première Vision, winning over a jury headed by Louise Trotter, creative director of Lacoste, with his collection "Take the Toys From the Boys". The hybrid tailoring collection was inspired by the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, a series of camps established to protest against nuclear weapons being placed at a British air force base, which lasted from 1981 to 2000. Ifeanyi Okwuadi said he’s been working on the topic for almost six years."It’s 100 percent emotive," said the designer, whose mother is from Sierra Leone and father from Nigeria. "I think we should all take action against the things that we find horrible in this world."

Grand Prix du jury Photographie
The Grand Prix du jury Photographie presided by Dominique Issermann was awarded to Emma Charrin and Olivier Muller. The duo combines photography and choreography in their project Baltellala - Le Tropique du Yucca. These first and third chapters of a large series of photographs titled Des Rives - Provisoire explore, through installation and in situ performance, different places around the Mediterranean. Bodys and textile elements blend into the landscapes of La Grande-Motte and Tanger. The two artists question the links between humans, territories and architecture and invite the creation of new myths and rituals.

French designer and jeweler Capucine Huguet won the Grand Prix du jury Accessoires de Mode presided by Christian Louboutin. Graduated from Central Saint Martins, she wishes to warn against the melting of ice. Her first collection Wahlenbergbreen mementos aims to shed light on the various manifestations of erosion and the disappearance of glaciers. The pieces are inspired by snowflakes, icebergs and cracks. Capucine Huguet stood out for the depth of her approach and the quality of the jewellery she created. According to the members of the jury, she was able to develop a poetic and very contemporary approach to the climate emergency through the deconstruction of the process of melting ice.
