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
Bertrand Cavalier is a French artist based in Brussels. His work revolves around the notion of space. He investigates the interaction between people and their surroundings, particularly urban surroundings as they took shape in the age of modernism.
Bertrand Cavalier’s work shows, above all, how man and nature move in that built environment and affect it, thereby ‘restructuring’ it. His photographs are more sculptural translations of unique moments than objective documents of social phenomena. The objects and situations that he portrays are often recognizable and ordinary. The close ups used by Bertrand Cavalier reveals, just as his presentation of the photographs does, the inherent structure of his subjects and how, as ‘foreign objects’, they break with the original order. In this way Bertrand Cavalier emphasizes the various aspects of urban planning, including the unintentional, the ‘mishap’, as a quality that allows room for a subjective and personal use of the cities in which we live.
The common thread in Bertrand Cavalier’s artistic thinking is his focus on the idea of the physical sensation, understood as our ability to share ideas and thoughts in ways other than through objective, factual information. Physical sensation is about our inner self and what we have in common. Through our senses, we share “tacit” but significant, universal knowledge.

Visual arts
Yolanda Ceballos is a visual artist and architect. Her work explores memory, time and transformation through sensory systems and evolving materials: fog, smell, condensation and salt. She constructs immersive environments where perception becomes spatial structure and atmosphere acts as a medium. She develops what she calls temporal architecture: a method of construction through breath, repetition and the scale of the body. It is a practice of atmospheric knowledge, where mist settles, smells are remembered and salt becomes the visible residue of time. Her installations unfold as systems of transformation: unstable, embodied and alive.
