Overview
- The duo David Brognon and Stéphanie Rollin were named winners of the 2026 Prix Marcel Duchamp and receive the top share of the prize money administered by ADIAF.
- Their winning work is a conceptual installation titled 5,376 years, 1,892 months, 1,110 days, 1,201 hours that displays fairground coin-pusher machines filled with sobriety tokens from recovery groups.
- The installation foregrounds themes the pair have long explored, including confinement, time, control and the lived experience of addiction.
- This year’s prize was decided by a jury that included prominent figures from the contemporary art world and placed Brognon Rollin ahead of shortlisted artists Joël Andrianomearisoa, Laura Henno and Josèfa Ntjam.
- The prize exhibition is being hosted at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris instead of the Centre Pompidou, a shift that highlights how the Pompidou’s extended closure is changing where high-profile French art shows are presented and seen.
