Pauline Boudry et Renate Lorenz – Contagious! 2010 Jury Award
A room was entirely dedicated to Pauline Boudry, the winner of the 2010 Jury Prize. The artist, who works in collaboration with Renate Lorenz, presented the installation Contagious!, a re-creation of the epileptic dances from colonial Paris at the end of the 19th century. The works of Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz focus on uncovering staged performances and practices that play with sexual identities through history and discourse. The two artists explore archival images and bring to light an exciting form of “queer archaeology,” where questions of gender and ethnicity intersect, and where the conditions and appearances of non-normative and transgressive identities are examined.
Boudry and Lorenz’s films reactivate epileptic dances, self-portraits, and life stories of the extraordinary chambermaid Hannah Cullwick, the theories of the scientist Magnus Hirschfeld, and the figure of Salome, all with the aim of interrogating contemporary norms that link deviance and normality. These filmed works, generally shot in 16mm, also featured artists from the fields of performance and dance, such as Werner Hirsch and Yvonne Rainer. The camera, props, costumes, and music—all elements involved in their reconstructions—adopted autonomous forms, fostering a unique and reflective aesthetic.
Laurent Kropf. PORNTIPSGUZZARDO Prix culturel Manor Vaud 2011
Winner of the 2011 Manor Cultural Prize Vaud, the Lausanne-based artist Laurent Kropf created a unique work for the museum’s largest hall. His installations, in a narrative drive, constructed a syntax made of literary and cinematic references, enriched by the codes of social representations. A language where small lives and monumental situations intertwined and confronted each other.
