Discover My Upcoming and Past Projects.

​Each project begins with a question and unfolds through encounters, public space, and participation.

Together, they explore how personal experiences can become collective inquiries and how art can open new ways of seeing reality.

Dive into the details below.

I'M LOOKING FOR THE CENTRE POMPIDOU,
DO YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS? 
A documentary and performative project with the Centre Pompidou
JULY 2026 

LASTEST

PROJECT

Documentary Making-of.
Beyond the film, a series of photographs accompanies the documentary, capturing singular moments of performance,

encounter and access as the project unfolded. They preserve the unique moments that shaped I’m Looking for the Centre Pompidou.

 

Documentary Teasers.
These excerpts document the project through different spaces and situations.

They include sequences filmed inside areas of the Centre Pompidou closed to the public, where I was also able to work directly on its walls as part of the project, as well as at MK2, a partner cinema venue.

Developed in partnership

with the Centre Pompidou,

I’m Looking for the Centre Pompidou

is a participatory, documentary

and performative project born

from a question:

where is a cultural institution when its building is no longer there?

​

With the Centre Pompidou closed for

four years, I set out to look for it in and beyond its walls. By performing in its empty spaces and across partner locations, I followed its traces through

the communities and places

that continue to bring it to life.

​

Combining

documentary filmmaking,

cultural mediation workshops

and live performances,

the project explores what remains

when a landmark disappears from

public space: not only an architectural

presence, but a network of

relationships and shared experiences.

​

The project culminated on July 2, 2026, at Chaillot – Théâtre National de la Danse in Paris, during POP’Arty,

the annual event for

Centre Pompidou members.

​

I thought I was looking for a building.

I found people.

And, as a young artist,

I also found myself living something

I had once only dreamed of.

​

Perhaps I was looking for the Centre Pompidou, but ultimately,

the Centre Pompidou found me.

Performance I at Chaillot
I moved through Chaillot approaching audience members and asking them a question: “Where is the Centre Pompidou?”

These encounters extended the inquiry into the theatre, while inviting people to join the final performance at 9 p.m.

Performance II at Chaillot
The second performance unfolded within the cultural mediation workshop. Participants completed “I’m Looking for ___ at the Centre Pompidou,” wrote their word on a sign, and carried it through the space. I joined them as part of the performance,

continuing my own search for the Centre Pompidou.

Backstage at Chaillot
The final moments before the first performance of the evening, backstage in the dressing rooms beneath Chaillot –

Théâtre National de la Danse, surrounded by the Chaillot and Centre Pompidou teams.

For the final performance, I invited the Jeune Troupe of La Colline – théâtre national in Paris to join me on stage, alongside Julie Baird-Smith, who also takes part in my Radio Campus Paris program Can You Hear Me?

​

​For me, their presence symbolically extended the Centre Pompidou’s constellation, bringing new voices and performers into the network of people and places through which the project unfolded.

Final Performance – The Entrance
The first moments of I’m Looking for the Centre Pompidou at Chaillot – Théâtre National de la Danse, just as the performance begins and the search moves into direct encounter with the audience.

Final Performance – On Stage
A turning point in the project: the moment I step onto the main stage and the search shifts into its final chapter,

bringing the inquiry toward its conclusion.

Final Performance – Photo Series.

from the gathering of the audience to the project’s final gesture.

I’M LOOKING FOR A HUSBAND, DO YOU KNOW HIM?
Documentary film and broadcast on Radio Campus Paris
WINTER 2026

UPCOMING 

PROJECT

In June 2025,

I travel to London to look for a husband, through a participatory performance set in the streets of

the city.


For five days, I walk through the city wearing a sandwich board that reads:
I’m looking for a husband.

He works at the BBC.


I hand out flyers, paste posters,

ask strangers questions.

I play, I doubt, I tell my story.


As the days go by, my quest becomes more ambiguous, more tender.
Between performance, real desire,

and staged fiction,

I let myself be carried by what unfolds.

​

The high point comes on Sunday,

June 15, at Speakers' Corner.
I climb onto a stool, take the mic,

and tell my story.
That day, a man proposes to me.

Fiction or reality?
The line begins to blur.


The answer will come in the winter,
with the release of the documentary film
and a special radio episode broadcast on Radio Campus Paris
(France’s first student radio station).

I’M LOOKING FOR A GALLERY, DO YOU KNOW ONE?
Broadcast on Radio Campus Paris
November 2025

A living artwork crossing Chelsea’s streets.
Inserting the artist’s quest for recognition into the heart of New York’s art world.

New York.​

I walked through Manhattan wearing a sandwich board that read “I’m looking for a gallery. Do you know one?”

 

By carrying this sentence into Chelsea and standing in front of Gagosian,

I confronted the question of visibility

and legitimacy with nothing

but presence and a simple gesture.

​

People reacted in different ways.

Some ignored me. Others stopped, asked questions or filmed. The street became the real space of the work, where vulnerability and courage

met in the open.

​

This performance is the starting point of the November 2025 episode of

Can You Hear Me?,

my creative documentary series

for Radio Campus Paris.

​

The episode,

narrated in French and English,

follows this moment where recognition begins not with validation,

but with the decision to show up.

Paris

Teaser — A street assertion.

The artist walks in a sandwich board costume,

testing recognition in the rhythm of the city.

​

This moment is a soft parenthesis in the journey.
I was having breakfast in my hotel in New York when David, who worked there, invited me to join the soup kitchen they run. We left immediately.
The iPhone photos follow the rhythm of that spontaneous morning, where presence, care, and encounter took another form.

A human interlude.

A moment of generosity and exchange, folding naturally into the performance’s journey.

At Gagosian’s doorstep.

A quiet yet decisive gesture, confronting the art world with a simple question.

I’M LOOKING FOR A CRITIC, ARE YOU ONE?
Live performance at the ÉCOLE DU LOUVRE
SEPTEMBER 2025

​A living artwork crossing the Louvre and its school.

Inserting the artist’s presence into the institution itself, as a question of recognition and legitimacy.

 

I walk into the École du Louvre wearing

a sandwich board that reads:
I’m looking for a critic. Are you one?

​

I hand out flyers in the corridors,

I invite, I disturb, I intrigue.


Then I step into the amphitheater.
I sit, I stand, I speak, I expose myself.

For a few minutes,

I become both artist and critic.


I present my work, but I also question it.
I ask the audience to take the role

usually reserved for others:
to judge, to doubt, to decide.

Is this a work of art?
What do you keep from it?
At what moment did you hesitate?

​

Between vulnerability and strategy,

I let the dialogue unfold.
Recognition is never given —

it is at stake, here and now.

​

This performance takes place

as part of the very first contemporary art festival ever held at the École du Louvre,

a historic moment inside one of the most prestigious art history schools

in the world, located at the heart of the Louvre Museum in Paris.

​

​

​

​

Teaser I — A performative statement.

The artist walks as a sandwich-woman while her voice insists: “I am the Artist of the Decade.”

A gesture of defense, exposure, and self-affirmation in the public arena.

​

​

Teaser II — Inside the Arena

In the Goya amphitheater, the artist turns a lecture hall into a stage.

Six minutes forty of presence, doubt, and defiance, a performance that blurs the line between statement and self-exposure.

 

​

“A candid artist, she doesn’t create art, she lives it. An artist who reshapes our very notion of art and performance.
Her work springs directly from experience.

Her authenticity is striking, urging the audience to live an artistic life themselves.
What audacity! What will be Carole Pelé’s next adventure?”


Here, the audience becomes the critic.
Their words, written on the spot, reveal both the disruption and the power of the performance.

GIVING VOICE THROUGH ART:
AMPLIFYING THE SPIRIT OF THE OLYMPICS
JULY 2024 TO FEBRUARY 2025

With the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in focus,

this body of work utilizes art as a powerful voice to challenge, celebrate, and unite.

It transforms the Games into a platform for reflection, questioning, and dialogue around ambition, resilience, and inclusivity.

​

For the Olympic Games, my performance I Am the Artist of the Decade, Can You See It?

uses posters, flyers, and a sandwich board costume to stake my claim as an artist in a competitive world.

This public intervention disrupts traditional art forms, presenting a bold declaration of visibility and purpose.

​

For the Paralympic Games, This is My Story. Will You Support Me? shifts the focus to amplify the voices of athletes.

Through video and photographic interviews, their stories of resilience create a bridge between spectators and the athletes themselves.

The work celebrates their journeys, expanding the conversation about strength, inclusivity, and achievement.

​

Together, these projects use the global stage of the Games to amplify voices, connecting humanity through art and shared experiences.

INVALIDES, PARIS

This is my story, will you support me?

is a short documentary project I started during the Paralympic Games.

Through video and photo portraits,

I wanted to shine a light on athletes with disabilities by giving them the opportunity to share their stories, challenges,

and resilience. 

For the first time, I stepped out of the frame to create a space where each protagonist could express themselves fully. Using sets I designed, their testimonies take on an artistic and immersive dimension, enhancing the power of

their narratives. 

As a symbolic conclusion to this project, a large letter has been displayed

in front of the Ministry of Culture.

Captured on video, this powerful

moment marks the culmination of my Paralympic journey and closes this unique artistic endeavor before opening a new chapter. This video serves as a testament to the project's strength and its commitment to increasing the visibility of athletes with disabilities. 

A symbolic gesture in front of the Ministry of Culture to close this Paralympic journey and amplify the voices of athletes with disabilities.

LES CHAMPS-ÉLYSÉES, PARIS

In contrast,

for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games,

I Am the Artist of the Decade,

Can You See It? boldly engages with public spaces through posters, flyers,

and a sandwich board costume.

 

This performance asserts my identity

as an artist while questioning art's place in a world focused on measurable achievements. By blending art

and performance, I aim to spark

a conversation on visibility,

competition, and the value of art.

 

Limited-edition posters will fund

the project, reinforcing the concept of

art for art's sake, without profit involved.

A spontaneous installation bridging street performance and the gallery space at Perrotin.

I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOU.
JULY AND MARCH 2024

This two-part performance explores the universal theme of dreams through installations, public interventions, and live performances.

 

The first chapter unfolds in Rome, as part of the Performa festival, where I engage with local residents to ask, “What are your dreams?”

The second chapter brings this question to life in the vibrant streets of New York,

where dreams meet the reality of a city synonymous with aspiration.

 

From Rome to New York, this project creates a space for artistic reflection and community dialogue,

celebrating the dreams that unite us across cultures.

WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK, NEW YORK

In July, I take my project I Have a Message for You to New York, a city emblematic of dreams and opportunities.

 

In Manhattan, I engage the city with posters, roll-ups, and a sandwich board costume, asking, “What are your dreams?” The project culminates

ina performance at Washington Square Park, connecting with the diversity

and creative spirit of the city.

Revelation in the heart of Times Square: my dream, on display.

ROMA TRE UNIVERSITY, ROME

Earlier, in March, I presented a similar performance in Rome as part of the Performa festival at Roma Tre University.

 

Over a week, I invited the people of Rome to reflect on their dreams, creating a space for exchange and introspection. Both cities are explored through

a universal question, highlighting

shared humanity, culture, and aspirations.

​

This project bridges cultures and connects people through a simple yet profound question, celebrating our collective dreams.

I AM AN ARTIST SHAPING THE FUTURE. CAN YOU SEE IT?
GALERIE STROUK, PARIS
2024

Reimagining the Everyday –

Art’s Power to Shape the Future.

 

Collaborating with Milana Gabriel,

this installation challenges the everyday perception of art by transforming

a cigarette pack into a medium

of expression.

 

Each pack contains a personal message, inviting the viewer to see art as more than an object of visual appreciation—

it is a catalyst for reflection and change.

​

This piece is a conversation between

the artist, the object, and the viewer,

and it encourages us to question

the potential of art to reshape our future.

SOPHIE, DO YOU SEE ME?
JUNE 2023, PARIS

MILESTONE

PROJECT

This project is a personal investigation to connect with artist Sophie Calle.

 

By following clues from her life,

I launched a public search through

a classified ad: “I dream of meeting Sophie Calle. Do you know her?”

 

This collective search culminated in

a meeting with Calle herself, highlighting the transformative power of vulnerability, human connection, and the porous boundaries between art, life, and desire.
