The First Prize Winner
Svetlana Fialova lives and works in London and Prague. She is currently studying for a PhD at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Bratislava.
‘In my practice, I usually get inspired by themes which draw on popular culture, the internet, TV, magazines or urban legends combined with invented characters. This work is based on a more intimate and personal moment. It captures my boyfriend in an apathetic pose, pulling chewing gum out of his mouth. Background scenes including fragments from Albrecht Dürer’s Apocalypse series, an unhealthy amount of Crocs shoes and the apotheosis of the cats all make a fitting setting for his current mood.’
The Second Prize Winner
Marie von Heyl won the second prize of £5,000 for her video work, Interior (Utopia). Born in Stuttgart, Germany and now living between London and Berlin, Marie studied BA Fine Art at Weißensee School of Art, Berlin and Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal Academy Schools in London. She has recently been awarded the Deutsche Bank Award for Fine Art 2013.

Her prize-winning video shows the artist examining her London flat using her own body. Referencing the interior as a trope of art history as well as the modernist utopian ideal of the Modulor, von Heyl discovers symmetries and interconnectivities between the human body and its artificial environment.
