In the Half-Light

Conceived as a space for shared research and sustained exchange, the exhibition In the Half-Light foregrounds processes, gestures, and the conditions through which artistic practices take form.

Marked by particular attention to the body and to relationships between practices and contexts, the restitution reflects a unique moment of experimentation, that is the six months spent in residence at the Cité internationale des arts, as part of the In situ programme. Here, the works remain in development and open to exploration, engaging questions of action, resistance, and solidarity.

The title metaphorically evokes a precise moment of light, shaped by urgency and fragility, where perceptions blur, meanings become unstable, and artistic practice emerges.

In situ is a multidisciplinary residency programme developed in collaboration with the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation. It aims to be both a time and a space for encounters, research, individual and collective work at the very heart of the Cité internationale des arts, as well as a workshop for the production of knowledge and works of art.

With the 2025-2026 laureates, In the Half-Light presents works by Daniel de la Barra, Yana Nafysa Dombrowsky-M’baye, Carlos Fer, Nadia Guerroui, Zhuang Han, Alexandra Kadzevich, Martha Kotsia, Reyhan Lál, Felipe Romero Beltrán, Beatrice Zaidenberg
