As part of Nuit Blanche 2025, the Cité internationale des arts is offering an exceptional evening around the exhibition 60 Years from Now: Relaying and the Argentinian artist Diego Bianchi.
From 7pm to midnight, the public is invited to discover an exhibition that explores transmission, memory, and commitment to the future in a world marked by genocide and conflict. 60 Years from Now: Relaying poses an essential question: how, today, can we continue to hope and bear collective responsibility for future generations?
Similarly, Argentine artist Diego Bianchi takes over the space with Cat Walk: Défilé Suspendu, an immersive performance presented in the main courtyard from 9 pm to 11 pm.
Conceived as a living tableau in perpetual mutation, this work explores movement, chao,s and the frozen image, in dialogue with the site and the audience. Between immobility and action, the performers’ bodies create a singular visual language, unsettling our reference points and opening up new perceptions of the present.

60 Years From Now: RelayingPerformance Cat Walk : Défilé Suspendu from Diego Bianchi
Cat Walk : Défilé Suspendu is an immersive installation conceived as a living stage—both a space to inhabit and a place for observation. Through this work, the artist offers a setting where anti-laws are explored: a learning of movement in which every step becomes a decisive action. This slow procession, choreographed in the abyss, questions established parameters and renders them absurd.
A group of performers positions themselves to create a frozen image, akin to living paintings, a suspended scene in the memory. Between stillness and movement, the performers are part of a constructed chaotic composition that they hold for a few seconds, a few minutes, or perhaps for eternity.
Each performer explores a unique dialogue with the space and the objects, minimal concentrated movements offering possible connections and resonances with the present. The work thus plays with the creation of instructions and the staging of disarray. The space takes the form of a long, narrow photographic platform where varied compositional situations unfold.
On this catwalk, encounters take place between bodies, objects, and time. The intention is to suspend images in memory while exploring new ways of relating to the elements around us. Bodies and objects transform and, in turn, transform perceptions of the present, making them fluid, malleable, and ephemeral.
