Emmanuelle Nègre is an artist who graduated from Villa Aron in Nice in 2010.
Her installation work uses cinema as a medium and dissects the space between the screen and the projector to explore the materiality of light at the moment fiction passes through it. Through the use of mirrors and filters, her installations distort, refract, and recompose, creating a distance between us and what we believe we are seeing. Emmanuelle Nègre presented this work during her first solo exhibition at Villa Cameline in Nice in 2015. Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, from 2011 to 2013, Emmanuelle Nègre developed a program of film screenings and exhibitions at Catalyst Arts, then joined LaStation, an artist residency and exhibition space in Nice, from 2013 to 2017.
Starting in 2016, following a residency in New York that introduced her to hologram production, Emmanuelle Nègre began a new research project and proposed a reflection on the materiality of the image. The substances that reveal the image become both the working tool and the subject being represented. Her work explores alternative silver-based development and printing techniques using plants to highlight the connections between the plant world and film, offering a critical perspective on ecological issues.
An exhibition in Paris at the Film Gallery of re:voir in 2017 showcased this work, which falls within the realm of experimental and alternative visual practices.
In 2022, she joined the “Chromoculture” research and creation project at ENSAD Limoges for a three-year residency, during which she continued her research into eco-friendly silver-based processes and the coloring of film stock using dye plants. She directed the film “Couleurs du jardin,” supported by Light Cone and the Atelier 105 residency.
Since 2023, Emmanuelle Nègre has lived and worked in Paris, where she is a video instructor at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.

Wolfgang Tillmans has been a visiting professor at Beaux-Arts de Paris throughout the 2025–2026 academic year. In addition to around 150 individual one-hour tutorials, he conceived a seminar series for students entitled On My Mind. Each session centred on a specific enquiry, and Tillmans invited participants to explore a collection of images, usually distinct from his own work and conceived instead as a kind of visual notebook.

Michelangelo holds a special place in the pantheon of great artists: his work, unanimously admired and based on unprecedented originality, resists those who seek to find perfection in it.
Faced with a constant flow of information, artists do not seek to say more, but to say things differently, through sensitive, unique and contextualised forms. Words then become vectors of personal or collective emancipation, embodied in assemblages, positionings, semantic shifts and resolutely poetic reconfigurations.
