YISEUL BAE / Recoin [mot,seuil-lit]

A work from the immersive exhibition conceived by students from Beaux-Arts de Paris at Espace Niemeyer, engaging with the architecture to offer a sensory and poetic experience around love and the memory of the place.

Recoin [mot,seuil-lit], a site-specific installation composed of two monumental photographs printed on paper and presented on wall panels, 2026. Inspired by the architecture of Oscar Niemeyer, this site-specific installation explores recesses, those residual spaces between curves and lines. Two monumental photographs explore the recesses of the architecture and bring forth, within its gaps, a form of intimacy. In echo of Nuit Blanche, the work connects these interstices to a form of love understood as attention paid to silences, absences, and what remains suspended in the other person. The work of Yiseul Bae, at the crossroads of photography, installation, sound, and writing, explores in-between spaces: passageways, recesses, neglected surfaces, fragments of language. Through sensitive devices, often activated by the viewer’s gaze or movement, she makes perceptible the discreet forms of presence that emerge in the interstices of everyday life, and questions the relationships between memory, forgetting, and architectures of the unsaid. A project co-produced as part of an educational partnership with the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, with the participation of Espace Niemeyer.
