2021 "Sud Emergence" prize

Supported by the Caisse d’Epargne

Lena Durr – 1st Prizewinner

At the end of a dark corridor, you enter a parallel universe, the one of Jeanne Marguerite. Following a residency in an EHPAD, the artist Léna Durr invites us to discover the daily life of the residents of a retirement home and to become aware of the rhythm and the boredom imposed by the passing of time in the image of a house that gradually empties itself. Seduced by the gentleness and accuracy of the work, the jury rewarded the artist for this installation full of tenderness.

Camille Franch-Guerra – 2nd Prizewinner

Intrigued by an incandescent musical rhythm, you rush to Catalonia under Franco’s dictatorship to exalt the devil and evil. The artist’s immersive proposal in a poetic, plastic, sonic and visual maze, which is dear to this 12th century Spanish tradition, undoubtedly seduced the Sud Emergence jury.

Hayoung Kim – 3rd Prizewinner

The artist stood out for her original installation. Inspired by the Google T-rex game, Hayoung Kim proposed to festival-goers to follow the life story of Google Dinosaur going through an existential crisis. Spinning around in the limbo of non-existent internet connection, you could accompany the Google Chrome dinosaur into the confines of his room and into the video « The life story of GD ».
