Podcast in French
This episode was produced as part of the Elles & Cité residency with one of the winners, Catherine Cattaruzza, in her studio at the Cité Internationale des Arts.
Catherine Cattaruzza lives between France and Lebanon, where she spent most of her life until 2022, when the collapse of Lebanon forced her into exile. Since 1993, after studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse and graduating with distinction from the Diplôme National Supérieur d’Expression Plastique, she has taken part in solo and group exhibitions in the Middle East, Europe and North America. Her work explores themes around territory, the trace, the fragmentation of political culture and post-war conditions.
Catherine Cattaruzza questions the political and poetic dimensions of landscape, what it tells us about the world, the transformation of physical territory, and the thinking that links the visible to the invisible. Her latest project, Where Home Lies (2024), developed as part of the ‘Elles et Cité’ residency at the Cité internationale des arts, Paris (2024), was awarded the DRAC Occitanie’s Aide Individuelle à la Création (2023).
