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.

Bora Baboçi was born in 1988 in Tirana. She lives and works in Tirana. She has a background in architecture and spatial research and her artistic works range from drawings to performative installations. She uses real or fictionalised settings, from the domestic to the environmental scale, to disentangle our perceptions of physical space and how it alters our emotions, behaviours and existential experience. Her work has been presented in numerous institutions and exhibitions including Manifesta Biennale (Kosovo, 2022), Mediterranea Biennale (San Marino, 2021), The National Gallery of Albania (2021), Eva International Biennale (Ireland 2020), Zentrum fur Kunst und Urbanistik (Germany, 2017).
The main subject of Bora Bobaci’s project are five disappeared kilometers of the river Bièvre. Buried in the undergrounds of Paris since the beginning of the 1900s, literature of the time has described the river with an aesthetics of a cloistered, indoored and disembodied artificiality that has been compared by scholars to modern day virtual reality and hypermediated spaces of artifice. Today through a process called daylighting rivers, several rivers around the world have been brought back to the surface. Within a staged setting in the residency, using an interior and almost domestic perspective, the five disappeared kilometers of the Bièvre will be a space of contemplation, critique and artistic expression. Through archival material, spatial composition and drawings, Bora Bobaci would like to explore the changes of narrative and how we go about daylighting these seemingly natural entities when they fuel our revised understanding of ecology and nature.
