origins

ce-ci was born from a simple but essential observation: the world is changing faster than the stories we use to make sense of it.

Our way of reading the world through separate fields of knowledge constantly puts us at odds with the complexity of reality. In a time when most theoretical models no longer align with what we actually experience, and when both intellectual and professional worlds feel overwhelmed by events, ce-ci offers a radically different approach: focusing not on what is already named, but on what exists between things. This is where discomfort, ambiguity, and the unknown coexist. It is also where possibilities arise: new ways of understanding, of imagining and of knowing.

Founded in Paris, rooted in rural territory, and with an international reach, ce-ci embodies an artistic mode of action in response to contemporary challenges. It draws upon the language of creation and of the unknown to explore interstices ; spaces that, by nature, escape binary classifications and hold forms of knowledge we urgently need.

In a profoundly unstable world, ce-ci is a sensitive and systemic tool to help us relearn how to inhabit the world differently. It does not seek answers or solutions as much as ways to explore what we do not yet know how to say, or do, or be.
