Bianca Bondi

Bianca Bondi (born in 1986 in Johannesburg, South Africa) is a multidisciplinary artist. Her practice involves the activation of objects and often develops in connection with the site in which she intervenes. The materials she works with are chosen for their potential for transformation or their intrinsic properties.

Bonjour garçon studio

Founded by Romain Fritiau in 2017 in Paris, the studio engages in artistic direction, publishing, branding and photography projects, operating primarily in the fields of art, design and fashion. With great sensitivity and a clear and minimalist vision, the studio allows its clients to fit into a sharp contemporary landscape with accuracy and relevance.

Lisa Boostani

Lisa Boostani (born in 1989 in Toulouse) is a Hispanic-Iranian artist settled between Paris and Barcelona. She works as a director and photographer in the fields of art, fashion, documentary, and music. As a performer, she explores bodily dynamics and psycho-physical language, experiencing her own body as a base material, living and mutable at the same time.

Arnaud Bottini

Arnaud Bottini (born in 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationship between human beings and the spaces they occupy, and the complexity of the interactions this generates. He highlights the links between politics and territory, seeking to make visible various forms of violence. Through regular use of misappropriation and satire, his work questions the way in which we perceive places and how they are presented to us. His work draws as much on analysis of maps and satellite photographs as on fieldwork and discussions with local residents.

Guillaume Bouisset

Guillaume Bouisset (born in 1990 in Madrid) starts from the premise that “representing is making visible the ontological structure of reality” (P. Descola), Guillaume Bouisset’s work shows a will to grasp the ties that distinguish the interaction between personal identity and external environment. “What is the self made of?”, “How is the individual connected — if he is at all — to the afterlife and to the universe that he perceives?”… To these reflections, the artist responds with visual hypotheses which question both metaphysical concepts themselves and the human propensity for a certain aesthetic of mystery.

Flora Bouteille

Flora Bouteille (née en 1993) est diplômée de l’École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon en 2018. Elle utilise les médiums de la sculpture, de l’écriture et de la vidéo pour réunir artistes et public dans des situations performatives impliquant le consentement à être une partie de l’oeuvre comme condition de son déroulement. Cette approche vise à contrarier notre capacité à reconnaître une oeuvre lorsque nous y pénétrons, et nous invite à l’action ou à la réflexion.

Cloé Brochard

Cloé Brochard (born in 1995 in Clermont-Ferrand) is inspired by control dispositives, observation systems, and military tools: she tries to question the impact that this types of media
can have on our perception of reality. She casts a critical eye on the omnipresence of surveillance tools in our personal life by questioning the complex relationship between intimacy and sociability. She questions the increasing harshness of our societies and seeks to promote expressions of freedom.

Apollinaria Broche

Apollinaria Broche (born in 1995 in Moscow) studied at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. For several years, the artist has been questioning the nature of concrete mental spaces, which she
believes host our imagination. She creates her own mental spaces, constructed from collected objects, whose real appearance is mixed with supernatural elements from our imagination and mythology.

Aviva Brooks

Aviva Brooks (born in 1965), inspired by the contrast between American and French culture, explores interstices and intervals. She digs into this “tension”, this mobile space which separates – and unites – the visual and the written word, action and thought, the energy of immediacy and the elegance of distance, the present and the past, childhood and adulthood, the USA’s black and white thinking and old Europe’s shades of grey. On the way, she inventories the artifacts of the passage of time, documenting this border that marks the moment an era enters the past: phone booths, public benches, Volkswagen buses, neon signs…

Anna Broujean

Anna Broujean (born in 1987 in Paris) graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in 2015 and founded the Club Sandwich magazine the same year. As a photographer, visual artist, and publisher, she offers humorous reinterpretations and transformations in her various works, combining photographs, texts, archive images, and installations.

The film had its premier at Festival de Cannes where it won the Palme D’or for short films and after the Crystal du Court Métrage at Annecy Festival. Currently she is developing new projects. One of her main goals is to keep searching for new ways of creating diverse universes, telling honest stories and finding a way to create an artistic project out of her recent interest, with an open mind.

Olivier Bémer

Olivier Bémer (born in 1989) lives and works in Paris. His work explores through different mediums the way we engage with technology and how it affects our relationship to time, to ourself and to others. His installations depict an adulterated reality in which archetypes simulate but fail to represent. Olivier Bémer is a graduate of ECAL, Beaux-Arts de Paris and the Fresnoy National Studio of contemporary arts.

Antoine Carbonne

Antoine Carbonne (born in 1987 in Paris) graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2011 and studied at the Hunter College in New York in 2009. While his work is often described as “contemporary surrealism”, he prefers to define it as “magic realism.” Indeed, this nebulous artistic movement plays on a fundamental ambiguity: has it ever really ended? In any case, it raises truly contemporary questions, such as hallucination and dreaming, which are important to the artist.

Alessandra Carosi

Alessandra Carosi (born in 1984 in Italy) is a visual artist whose practice is mainly centred on the photographic medium, nourished by a plastic approach. Combining photography with psychology, she investigates the way in which subtle and immaterial elements such as empathy and emotions meet and dialogue with each other. In the course of her research, the artist tries to go beyond the limits of the medium by bringing out three-dimensional aspects that allow her to transcend the photographic surface.

Marion Catusse

Marion Catusse (born in 1991 in Paris) lives and works in Paris. She graduated in 2014, from the superior cycle of Plastic Arts of the École de Condé. “Starting from the natural stone that served as a guide to Man in his understanding of reality, Marion Catusse’s experiments allow the deployment of a completely different relationship to the world, enabled by the production of works whose appearance borrows from the characteristics and properties of the mineral world but which contain their own reality.” (Text by Lisa Toubas.)

Mathilde Cazes

Mathilde Cazes (born in 1991 in Toulouse) is an artist who graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021. She lives and works between Paris and Finistère. Photographer and sculptor, Mathilde Cazes asks through her works "the same question, by diverted ways: how to inhabit the Earth today? Her work constantly oscillates between the melancholy of potential disappearances, and a passionate defense of the living." (extract from a text by Camille Paulhan, critic).

Marielle Chabal

Marielle Chabal (born in Paris in 1988) has, after studying literature and political sciences, entered the Beaux-Arts de Paris. She creates futuristic fictions that become inseparable from the forms that they generate and the actions they create through her many collaborators. She is convinced that fiction participates to the construction of our lives and transforms a burning desire to change the world into something that approaches an embodied experience: the format of the exhibition becomes a driving force that intensifies collective practices by inviting artists, scientists, architects, musicians, researchers, and other figures to build common experiences.

Antoine Chapon

Born in 1990, artist Antoine Chapon has presented his work at the ZKM|Karlsruhe (2019), the Centre Pompidou (2020) and the Venice Architecture Biennale (2021). In 2021, he becomes one of the Berlinale Talents. His first film My Own Landscapes won the prize for best short film at the Visions du Réel festival (2020). It was selected in many festivals like Sundance (2021) and Telluride (2021). In 2023 it was selected for the César in the category Short Documentary Film.

Grégory Chatonsky

Gregory Chatonsky (born in 1971 in Paris) is a French-Canadian artist, pioneer of the Netart with the foundation of Incident.net (1994). In 2003, he became interested in the themes of ruins and the materiality of digital flows until the extinction of the human species. In 2009, he ventured into the world of AI, which became over the years an object of research and creation, followed by a seminar at the ENS Paris on artificial imagination. He has exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo, the Centre Pompidou, the MOCA in Taipei, the Museum of Moving Image, the Hubei Wuhan Museum, etc.

Salomé Chatriot

Salomé Chatriot (born in 1995 in Paris) graduated from the École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne. Her work focuses on the creation of physical and virtual spaces: she builds machines
and installations in which electronic sculptures and digital images coexist. Fascinated by breathing, she invents multiple futures where bodies, machines, nature, and objects come together in biometric
harmony.

Lou Chenivesse

Lou Chenivesse (born in 1994 in Paris) grew up in France, Egypt, and Syria. A visual artist and scenographer, she graduated from the national diploma of plastic expression with honors. Her work relies on lying, make believe, playing with reality so that the spectator cannot tell what is true and what is false, imagines, dreams. She intertwines realities that are both fictional and documentary, tangible and invisible. At the intersection of performing arts, cinema, and visual arts, she creates hybrid forms, full of magic, poetry, oneirism, and ghosts.

Gaëlle Choisne

Gaelle Choisne (born in 1985) lives and works between Paris and Berlin.
Sensitive to contemporary issues, her practice takes into account the complexity of the world, its political and cultural disorder, whether it be the overexploitation of nature, its resources or the vestiges of colonial history, where esoteric Creole traditions, myths and popular cultures are mixed.
Her projects are conceived as ecosystems of sharing and collaboration, pockets of "resistance" where new possibilities are created.

Chloé Clément

Chloé Clément was born and lives in Paris. She is a screenwriter and director and is currently developing a documentary film on post-traumatic stress that occurred in the survivors of the November 13, 2015 attacks – a reflection on loss, mourning, death.
