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.

Marion Gronier
Year/s of residence : 2024
Visual arts
Since 2004, Marion Gronier has been developing a body of photographic work that delves into the portrait to extract its power to act in face-to-face encounters with no escape.
After studying literature, she worked for three years at “Agence Vu” before devoting herself to her personal projects, which focus on the portraits of stigmatised people.
Her work has developed along two lines. The first is to use masks to explore the figure of doubling, absence from oneself and death in the photographic fixation of surviving performative practices. The second is a critique of the constructions of social assignment that the photographic portrait can both produce and abolish.
From 2005 to 2008, she produced “Nuit blanche“, a series devoted to the masked faces of traditional Asian theatre actors.
Her second series, I am your fantasy (2010-2011), a series of mother-daughter diptychs taken during amateur mini-miss competitions in northern France, was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Musée de la Photographie de Charleroi in 2011 and of a first monograph published by Images en Manoeuvres.
In 2012, she won the BMW-Musée Niépce Residency. There she produced “Les glorieux”, portraits of travelling circus performers, exhibited at the Rencontres d’Arles and Paris Photo in 2013 and brought together in a second book published by Trocadéro.
From 2013 to 2019, she will be working in the United States on the violence of its colonial history. This series, entitled We were never meant to survive, was twice awarded a CNAP grant for contemporary documentary photography. Exhibited since 2020, notably at Agnès b. and the Galerie du Château d’eau in Toulouse, it is the subject of her third book, published by “Le Bec en l’air” in 2021.
Her latest work, for which she was awarded the “Elles & Cité” residency, turns away from the human figure to probe the indecipherable language of bodies inhabited by ‘madness’.
