Tarik Kiswanson
Prix Marcel Duchamp
The Prix Marcel Duchamp 2023 has been awarded to Tarik Kiswanson. Born in 1986 in Halmstad, Sweden, the artist whose family is originally from Palestine draws inspiration from several cultures. After studying in London, he lives and works in Paris and Amman. He is represented by the gallery carlier | gebauer (Berlin) and the Sfeir-Semler Gallery (Hamburg, Beirut). His project for the Prix Marcel Duchamp deals with the question of exile and the construction of identity, combining the ovoid shapes of the cocoons from the Nest series, pieces of furniture, the video The Fall or even the voice of his mother telling her arrival in Scandinavia. His practice explores subjects linked to memory and heritage, temporality and belonging, but also more broadly to transformation and metamorphosis. The notions of uprooting, regeneration and renewal are at the heart of his work.

Rose Lowder
Prix d’honneur
Rose Lowder is the winner of the Prix d’honneur 2023. Though known for her work in experimental cinema, Rose Lowder is also a visual artist and pioneer of a global and ecological approach to artistic creation. She lives in Avignon, where she co-founded and continues to curate programmes for the Archives du film expérimental. From 1996 to 2005, she was an associate professor at the Université Paris 1 where she taught the history, theory and aesthetics of experimental cinema. In focussing her research on visual perception in relation to the cinematographic means of expression, Lowder concentrated on the different ways one can modify the graphic and photographic visual features of the image as it transforms in time. She was nominated by Salma Mochtari.

Barbana Bojadzi
Prix Sisley - Beaux-Arts de Paris
Barbana Bojadzi is the winner of the 4th edition of the Prix Sisley - Beaux-Arts de Paris pour la jeune création. Barbana Bojadzi was born in 1996, she lives and works in Paris and graduated in 2021 from Beaux-arts de Paris, studio Dominique Figarella, with honors. Her research focuses on the imprints of movement and the traces left by body gestures in the immediate environment. Her tools marked by use offer her a unique gesture. This conflict between gestures and materials results in a wound, revealing what is necessary in them and allowing balance. By introducing atmospheric scenes, fragments of sky, photographic forms and symbols, Barbana Bojadzi creates a dialectical confrontation between different bodies of materials and signs.

Ser Serpas
Prix Reiffers Art Initiatives
Ser Serpas is the winner of the Prix Reiffers Art Initiatives 2023. A young American artist living in Paris, she has been recognised for her artistic approach and the sensitivity of her works, which reflect the tensions shaking today's society. Serpas's works form abstract poems that speak of our relationship with our environment and our ability to appropriate it, to reassemble it as much as to sublimate it. The artist is not content to simply take hold of the world, she works just as hard to reconfigure it aesthetically and conceptually, to propose other imaginaries and other ways of making the world together.

Eden Tinto Collins
Prix Fondation Pernod Ricard
Eden Tinto Collins is the winner of the Prix Fondation Pernod Ricard, awarded since 1999 to young talent on the French art scene. A hypermedia poet, her work is steeped in science fiction, mythology, sitcoms and quantum physics. Videographer, performer and musician Eden Tinto Collins creates visual operas on screen, total works of art combining shots taken in a natural environment, photographs taken on the Internet and digital animations. The characters in these film installations, embodied by the artist and other performers, emerge as avatars at the frontiers of the virtual and the real.

Prix Jean-François Prat
Jem Perucchini has been awarded the Prix Jean-François Prat 2023. Born in Ethiopia in 1995 and adopted by an Italian family, he lives and works in Milan. Jem Perucchini's contemporary painting, based on Renaissance imagery, explores the mystery of what is being done and the future in the making.

Johanna Mirabel
Bourse Révélations Emerige
Johanna Mirabel has been awarded the Bourse Révélations Emerige 2023. Johanna Mirabel's hybrid spaces play on the continuity between interior and exterior, questioning the relationship between the intimate and the universal but also her Caribbean heritage, as indicated by her ocher-red palette, inspired by the soil of Guyana. The artist, who was exhibited among the finalists in Paris in October, will benefit from the support of partner gallery Nathalie Obadia, the provision of a studio for a year at La Ruche and a grant towards her solo exhibition at the gallery in 2024.

Rosângela Rennó
Prix Women In Motion
Kering and Les Rencontres d'Arles awarded the Prix Women In Motion 2023 to the Brazilian photographer Rosângela Rennó. Born in 1962 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, she currently lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. Interested in "the way the system tries to erase or manipulate links with the past", the photographer appropriates and transforms archival photographic material into an art installation or a book of photography. Her work is a detailed exploration of time, of forgetting, and the social and psychological changes that affect memory.
