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.
Ai Ozaki
Year/s of residence : 2024, Fondation Daniel et Nina Carasso
Visual arts
Born in Saitama, Japan, Ai Ozaki studied at Tokyo Zokei University (2013-2017) and at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam (2022-2024). Through video, sound, photography, ceramics, text, and painting, her work explores how her body interacts with ‘the Other,’ which refers to both people, all living beings, and herself. She is interested in our difficulty to understand each other and our own bodies. In her practice, she explores an imaginary communication with these ‘incomprehensible entities’ that are ‘others,’ focusing on themes such as sexuality and food.
