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.

Year/s of residence : 2023, 2–12
Music
Ela Orleans, a composer, video artist, performer, and academic, fuses composition, video art, performance, and academia into a mesmerizing tapestry. Her sample-driven melodies evoke the nostalgic echoes of ’50s and ’60s pop, weaving elegant harmonies and atmospheric narratives that pay homage to influences ranging from BBC Radiophonic Workshop to the Éthiopiques saga and to Bernard Herrmann’s cinematic scores.
Since her debut Low Sun/High Moon in 2008, Orleans has garnered international acclaim, gracing esteemed venues including MoMA PS1, MoCA, The Venice Biennale, and TATE Britain, she also toured across the UK, Europe, the USA, and Canada. A polymath, Orleans weaves her artistry across albums, film soundtracks, theatre, and opera. Her 2023 PhD from the University of Glasgow cements her journey’s intellectual resonance.
The project she is going to work on during her residency at the Cité internationale des arts – La Nuit Dorée, is an audio-visual composition sculpted from the patterns of iconic French songs of the ’60s and ’70s. Orleans envisions a symphony of opulent pop, interwoven with archival collages, vividly resurrecting Paris of yore. “Musically, I aim to craft upbeat pop, using proven recipes. Visually, archival collages will adorn my melodies, bringing the era to life,” says Orleans. The project is an invitation to partake in a timeless symphony, an ode to the past that resonates in the present.
