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.

Elsa Brès (born in 1985) is an artist and architect. She graduated from Fresnoy, national studio of contemporary arts (2017), Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-Belleville (2012) – where she taught architecture theory – and also studied at the University of Montreal and ENSCI in Paris.
Her work, bringing together film, video, sculpture and installation, combines research, fiction and experimentation in order to explore the processes of construction and the political stakes of contemporary landscapes. Each project proceeds by distortion of space, scale and/or time in order to create geographical (sciences)-fictions.

Brice Lautric was born in 1990 in Bord de mer, Trois-rivières in Guadeloupe.
He graduated from the Campus Caraibéen des Arts in 2013, and the question of memory is at the heart of his work. He treats the landscape in a singular way, trying to break away from a ‘do-does’ attitude or identity-based approach. The place is seen not simply as a geographical focus but as an inhabited, living space, both personal and collective. He therefore addresses the notions of absence and presence, aiming to deconstruct the image in order to reconstruct it and give it a different, sensitive perspective.
In photography, he will rework a single image to produce a variety of distinct visions that tend to blur the lines of memory.
