American artist Diamond Stingily’s a large-scale installation In the middle but in the corner of 176th place features over 700 trophies with inscriptions that are fragments of conversations Stingily had with her grandmother and older brother, in addition to her own quotes and those of other artists and poets.

NGV Assistant Curator Katharina Prugger discusses how Stingily’s installation explores society’s collective obsession with triumph, competition and failure.
