Artists in residence
Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

His works have been featured at international festivals and venues mainly across Europe, such as ZKM (Karlsruhe), the Venice Biennale Musica, Ars Electronica (Linz), the Muziekgebouw (Amsterdam), and CYENS (Cyprus), among others.
