Projection Eric Baudelaire x INJA
Tuesday 16 Dec 2025 from 7pm to 8pm
Free on booking
As part of the Residency programme, the Fondation is presenting a first cut of Éric Baudelaire's new film, shot at the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles (INJA) in collaboration with visually impaired and blind students.
For this edition of the Atelier en Résidence, the Fondation is supporting the artist in the production of a film and a series of sculptures designed in collaboration with students from the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles (INJA).
Shot within the institution, the film is based on images captured by visually impaired or blind students. Between observational cinema and collective creation, the project questions the notion of gaze and the way images are constructed when the perception of the world relies primarily on senses other than sight.
The result is an expanded experience of perception, which redefines the visible through those who, without ‘seeing’, nevertheless teach us how to look again.
After studying political science, Éric Baudelaire chose artistic practice as a tool for taking a critical look at the world, through film, photography, performance installations and text.
His work explores a reality shaped by the systems of representation that structure contemporary societies—political, judicial, economic, and informational systems—and scrutinises that which does not conform to these systems, that which derails, wanders, or falls out of place.
His feature films are presented at festivals and exhibitions, where they are part of larger installations that include other works, archival documents and a programme of events.
His work has been exhibited at the Centre Pompidou, MMK Frankfurt, Kunsthalle St. Gallen, Museo Reina Sofia, Bergen Kunsthall, Kunstinstituut Melly, Bétonsalon, Fridericianum, Beirut Art Centre, as well as the Whitney Biennial, Sharjah Biennial, Yokohama Triennale, Mediacity Seoul and Taipei Biennial. He received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2019, and published the monograph FAIRE AVEC with Paraguay Press in 2023.
