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.

BIO Ludovic CLAIRE is a self-taught photographer based in Guadeloupe. Since 2009, he has developed a practice that moves between portraiture, documentary photography and visual experimentation, with particular attention to bodies, territories and Caribbean memories. His work explores the materiality of the image through photographic transfer on wood, cyanotype on paper, textile and glass, as well as anthotype. Selected in 2024 for the Création Hybride residency, he took part in the Rencontres Photographiques de Guyane in 2025. In 2026, he was selected for the ENSP Arles mentorship programme, which was cancelled before it began. That same year, during a residency in Marie-Galante, he began a new stage of his project Fragments-Récifs; he also presented his first solo exhibition, Anima Vasana.
