Rencontres Audiovisuelles launched a call for participation in November 2023, open to international submissions, to professionals and students in cinema, animation, digital arts, graphic design, video games, etc. The candidates were selected based on application files and presented their work on the facade of the Palace of Fine Arts on the occasion of the Lille video mapping tour offered as part of the Video Mapping Festival #7.
A Jury composed of mapping professionals nominated a Grand Prize, a Jury Special Mention, and the public was invited to choose an Audience Prize through a SMS vote.
In addition to the 4 000€ grant for the creation, each winner (Grand Prize and Audience Prize) receives a second financial prize to propose a creation, one for the next edition of iMapp Bucharest (monetary prize offered by iMapp Bucharest), the other for the Lyon Festival of Lights (monetary prize of 4000€ offered by Christie).

The prizes are designed by ruestungsschmie.de and 3D printed by Future Campus Ruhr.

GRAND PRIZE
Concurrent n°5
Dirk Rauscher (Germany)
▶︎ Neo Roman Dust
Neo Roman Dust is an homage to the building and the Palais des Beaux-Arts architecture itself. It follows the lines and forms of the architecture while revealing the facade to get an artistic glimpse inside with his collection of famous statues. Some of these statues are actually shown in the exhibition (such as Satyr and Bacchante, Spartacus).
The aim of this mapping is to celebrate beauty and elegance in and of itself. To serve as an audiovisual peaceful light in the dark in these disturbing times.

JUY SPECIAL MENTION
Concurrent n°7
Fred Ebami, Bianca Turner (France, Brazil)
▶︎ Breaking the walls
“In this audiovisual piece, we choose to tell the stories of those never mentioned, the workers, those behind the walls, those building, cleaning, welcoming, the ones who make the building alive and existing. Also the stories of the artists who are never represented inside the Fine Arts Museums, the coloured, the children, and also the woman painters who lack space inside the museums. Questioning : What’s Art? Defined by whom and for who?”
Fred Ebami’s pop art style with warm and contrasted colours shake the Palais des Beaux-Arts, as Bianca Turner’ composition and video mapping creation brings the rhythmic and historical layer to the piece.
