Noémie Goudal designs illusionist installations staged in the landscape, which are then adapted into films, photographs and performances. Her work explores the many ways of observing and understanding natural environments. By dissecting the layers and perspectives of an image, she questions our mental constructions of the landscape. Through a perfect balance between realism and constructed fiction, her images sublimate the scientific substrate from which they never stray.

Faire avec : mes associations
"Faire avec" here means both making do with a context and not doing things alone, but with others. These two dimensions structure this encounter with Pauline Curnier Jardin, whose work combines performance, cinema and visual arts, and is based on collective practices, collaborations and ritual forms (processions, carnivals, films).
When Claude Rutault (1941–2022), one of the leading figures of conceptual art, appropriated hopscotch, he had not yet invented definitions/methods. However, the theme of this children's game and its use in painting already reflected his penchant for artistic protocols. From August 1971 to October 1974, Claude Rutault drew or painted 519 hopscotch games, before returning to the theme in several exhibitions between 1994 and 2019.

Salomé Botella, a 2025 graduate, presents her book Pas si tant (Not So Much) published by Éditions de L'Ogre, as a series of snapshots of rural life drawn from the author's personal experience, who grew up in Creuse before leaving to study Fine Arts in Paris.
Created nine years ago by the Beaux-Arts de Paris, the Hérodote programme, supported by the Friends of Beaux-Arts de Paris, welcomes 15 to 20 students each year, including refugee artists and asylum seekers who have undertaken or completed higher education in art in their country of origin.
Initiated by Sophie Marino programme manager, it offers a supportive environment in which students can regain confidence in themselves and their practice and forge bonds.
The exhibition will close exceptionally at 5 p.m. on Saturday 31 January.

From documentary to fiction, this screening of films by Virgile Desbat, Marine Ducroux-Gaziot and Salomé Moindjie Gallet will be followed by a discussion with Mathieu Abonnenc, curator of the exhibition. They evoke games of desire and power, the anticipation of a coming catastrophe and the hope for a new life.
