You are cordially invited to the opening of the exhibition Unfolding architecture by french artist Béatrice Lartigue, which will take place on Monday, 8 September 2025, at 6 p.m. at the artKIT exhibition space.
INVITATION (PDF)
The exhibition Unfolding architecture in the projects Invisible Cities and Unfinished City establishes a subtle diptych and dialogue between the past and potential city, where architecture is both the bearer of the collective memory of historical architecture and at the same time a vision for the urban, speculatively generated form of the city’s future.
The Unfinished City (2025) embodies an organism in perpetual mutation, which fragments, deconstructs and reborns. Conversely, Invisible Cities (2020) reveals the fragile imprints of monuments, where absence and memory redraw the contours of reality. Together, these two pieces weave a dialogue between future and reminiscence, metamorphosis and disappearance, where architecture becomes narrative and the matter of time. The exhibition invites us to contemplate the city as a living being and the expression of a tangible memory.
Biography
Since 2008, Béatrice Lartigue has been working on projects at the intersection of art, science and technology. Her work explores the materialisation of invisible physical events, by immersing visitors in a space whose rules are partly written and partly in the making. A critical perspective on the utilisation of technology in a fragile environmental context guides her practice.
Her works were exhibited at the Barbican Centre (London), the Miraikan Museum (Tokyo), le Centre Pompidou (Paris), la Gaîté Lyrique (Paris), the DMuseum (Seoul), the Times Art Museum (Beijing), Photo Elysée (Lausanne).
Béatrice Lartigue has won several international awards, including from the Sundance Film Festival (New Frontier Selection: Notes on Blindness), the Lumen Prize (Performance Award: Portée/), the GIFF Festival (Philémon). She teaches Media and Interaction Design at Gobelins (Paris) and regularly leads workshops in institutions such as ECAL (Lausanne), Beaux-Arts (Toulouse).
