Filmmaker and artist Éric Baudelaire talks with Clément Delépine (director of Lafayette Anticipations) about 'Écarte la lune', a film he made collectively over two years with five young blind students from the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles in Paris — a project about perception, trust, and what it means to make images together with people who see differently. He also discusses his multi-screen installation work ('Quand le soir tombe', shown at the Venice Biennale and CCA Berlin), companion touchable wooden sculptures made with the students, and his belief that reclaiming slow time — in both making and viewing art — is a deeply political act. The conversation closes with news of a major exhibition of his work planned at the foundation in spring 2028.
“Time, I think, is one of the most important things that we are lacking. And I think that is our position as artists and people who make exhibitions: trying to reclaim a different relationship to time is an extremely political thing to do.”
— Éric Baudelaire
