BODY · SURFACE · SPACE
What transforms a space into a meaningful place? Is it the physical marks left behind, the emotions that resonate, or the memories layered over time? Artists’ lived experiences transform spaces, layering them with memories, emotions, and physical marks, evolving into immersive sites for shared engagement. Shaped by the individuals inhabiting them, these spaces create rich dialogues, weaving both visible and hidden sentiments, allowing new layers of meaning to emerge. In an art space, the studio itself becomes a medium for empathy and connection, inviting viewers to experience collective memory in an embodied form.

The Fondation Fiminco, located in Paris, offers a vibrant cultural space that fosters interdisciplinary artistic practices. Here, the physical acts of artmaking become a dialogue among diverse voices, a living texture through which we’re invited to move, feel, and understand. My curatorial residency at the Fondation Fiminco is supported by the T-One Association, whose backing has allowed me to engage deeply with the artists’s practices. In this review, these moments of connection are amplified through my conversations with the artists during studio visits as well as during the open studio day in November 2024, where the artists’ workspaces become venues for exchange. Through my studio visits and an open studio day, residents Nefeli Papadimouli, Mena Guerrero and Jisoo Yoo shared insights into their artistic processes. Each of whom brings a distinct yet interconnected vision of the body as a witness, a participant, and a bridge between shared and private spaces. In each artist’s work, the body is not only an active participant but also a bridge between the personal and the universal, embodying both vulnerability and endurance. Their work illustrates how physical forms can serve as conduits of empathy, merging individual memories with collective societal narratives.
