Filmed using night-vision surveillance technology in the complete absence of visitors, Gr\u00e9aud\u2019s work transforms this \u201cphantom exhibition\u201d into a spectral, cinematic experience, adopting the visual language of nocturnal observation and contemporary image-making. The resulting film reveals an unseen dimension of the original show, capturing the aura of artworks suspended in time and devoid of human presence.<br>Developed through a multi-year collaboration with international institutions\u2014including the Petit Palais (Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris), the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Art et d\u2019Histoire de Gen\u00e8ve, and the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Ch\u00e2telet\u2014<em>Cortical: Smoke + Mirrors<\/em> is part of Gr\u00e9aud\u2019s ongoing <em>Cortical<\/em> cycle. Projected through the windows of the Mobile Homestead, the work reverses interior and exterior space, transforming the house into a luminous viewing device and the city itself into an audience.<br>Blending film, architecture, and urban space, the installation explores visibility and concealment, memory and mediation, proposing the exhibition as a perceptual system where images, technologies, and environments converge.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>About the artist<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Since the early 2000s, Loris Gr\u00e9aud has been following an atypical trajectory on the international contemporary art scene. He produces unique environments whose narrative is fraught with paradoxes and its linearity often troubled by disruptive elements. Rumours, poetry, viruses, architecture and demolition, academism and self-negation are all regularly invoked in his work, which strives to bring together physical and mental spaces on a single surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gr\u00e9aud has held numerous solo exhibitions, including at the Palais de Tokyo,&nbsp;Mus\u00e9e&nbsp;du Louvre, Centre Pompidou, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the ICA London,&nbsp;Kunsthalle&nbsp;Wien, Tel Aviv Museum of Art\u2026 and his works are part of prestigious international collections such as, le&nbsp;Mus\u00e9e&nbsp;d\u2019Art&nbsp;Moderne&nbsp;de&nbsp;Paris;&nbsp;Collection Fran\u00e7ois Pinault (Venise);&nbsp;Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris), Nam June Paik Art Center (Korea) or&nbsp;Hirshhorn&nbsp;Museum (Washington).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Loris Gr\u00e9aud\u00d7Cortical:Smoke+Mirrors&nbsp;is made possible through the support of Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, the Teiger Foundation and the Institut Fran\u00e7ais.
