Born in 1970, Cecile Paris is an artist who sweeps the field of our common spaces, and through her films, photographs, collages and drawings, delivers a thousand possible interpretations, most often giving birth to a hypnotic strangeness where melancholy mixed with gentle rebellion hovers.
Founder of the label “Code de nuit”, a community project, she often works in collaboration with musicians, dancers, or choreographers. Notably, her videos are included in the collections of the Mac/Val (Museum of contemporary art Val-de-Marne) in Vitry-sur-Seine, and the Musée d’art moderne (Museum of Modern Art) in the city of Paris.

The artist will be present at the March 21 screening.
He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.
When we examine the Ottoman-themed paintings of indoor everyday life by western painters, musical entertainment attracts attention as a fundamental aspect of the lifestyle.
