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.

Visual arts
Catherine Cattaruzza lives between France and Lebanon, where she has spent most of her life. In 2022, the collapse of Lebanon forced her into exile.
Since 1993, after studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse and obtaining the Diplôme National Supérieur d’Expression Plastique with honours, she has been taking part in solo and group exhibitions in the Middle East, Europe and North America. Her work explores themes around territory, the trace, the fragmentation of political culture and post-war conditions.
In the spring of 1994, Catherine Cattaruzza was invited to take up a residency by the Lebanese Ministry of Culture and became the first post-war artist to work in the public space of Beirut city centre. There she creates ephemeral installations entitled No Man’s Land.
Her work has received support from the Swiss Arts Council, Pro Helvetia.
Her video installation Body was acquired for the permanent collection of the Vehbi Koç Foundation in Istanbul, Turkey (curated by Emre Baycal).
Her most recent works are The Thin Lines Between the River and Me – Geography – Cartography – Photography – Radiography – a photographic series for the Lebanese Pavilion at the 16th Venice Biennale in Architecture, (curator Hala Younes – 2018) ; Beneath my Skin, Home a permanent installation for the American Hospital in Beirut, (curator Amanda Abi Khalil) and I Can’t Recall the Edges, Biennale of Photographers from the Arab World, IMA Paris (curator Gabriel Bauret – 2019). This series will be presented at the Photo Pavilion of the Art Explora Festival in a tour of the Mediterranean (curators Amanda Abi Khalil and Danielle Makhoul – 2024/26).
The photographic installation I Am Folding the Land was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles in 2022. The exhibition was accompanied by an eponymous book with texts by Ryoko Sekiguchi and Jean Michel Vecchiet.
Catherine Cattaruzza has been photographing Beirut since 1992. Her project “Liban-Israël, l’Infranchissable Frontière” won her an 8-page portfolio in M le Monde, as well as a publication in the reference book “Sur la photographie au Liban” (ed. Kaph). This series on impassable borders is a long-term project on conflict zones and the representation of latent wars.
Her latest project, Where Home lies (2024), developed as part of the “Elles & Cité” residency at the Cité internationale des arts, Paris (2024), was awarded the DRAC Occitanie’s Aide Individuelle à la Création (2023).
