In Paris, there's a place for meetings and debates, where you can access exhibitions, a library, an orchard, screenings... And it's all free! It's called theAcadémie du Climat, and it's located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris.
The Climate Academy welcomes us year-round, giving us the chance to take part in a variety of festive and educational activities. For Nuit Blanche 2026, the night promises to be as wild as it is captivating...
You read that right: the Academy of Climate is taking part in the 25th edition of Nuit Blanche, this Saturday, June 6, 2026. If Nuit Blanche is unfamiliar to you, allow us to introduce it. This cultural celebration is staged each year in Paris and in the surrounding Île-de-France towns. For one night, museums, monuments and other venues shine a light on contemporary creation. Hundreds of free artistic events are laid on across the capital.
It's an evening not to be missed, and a chance to discover these cultural venues and the artists who bring them to life, in a whole new way, for one crazy night!
Video, Installation
Vague Verte is an immersive video installation built from layering multiple images of trees swaying in the wind. This process creates a continuous visual flow, like a cascading belt of vegetation, where forms appear and dissolve gradually. The image teeters between depiction and abstraction, inviting the eye to wander without a stable focal point.
The project grew from an inquiry into the relationships between interior and exterior, as well as between natural and constructed spaces. By bringing a shifting landscape inside an exhibition space, the installation aims to blur perceptual boundaries and unsettled habitual spatial cues.
On the occasion of its presentation at the Académie du Climat, the work engages with the challenges surrounding our relationship to the environments we inhabit, offering a sensitive rather than descriptive approach.
The work was created during a research and creation residency at the Abbaye de Fontfroide in Narbonne in 2022, in partnership with MO.CO Montpellier Contemporain. In the recent context of wildfires that have marked the Occitanie region, the installation can now be read with an additional layer of landscape reading at play.
Presented in varied contexts — notably in the chapel of the Abbaye de Fontfroide, in a derelict space as part of Lille 3000, and through a glass storefront facing the public space as part of SOL !, the third Montpellier territory biennial — the installation adapts to each site, adjusting to its conditions to offer a singular immersive experience.
With the support of the Académie du Climat, Rencontres Audiovisuelles, the Abbaye de Fontfroide, and MO.CO Montpellier Contemporains.
Take advantage of this Nuit Blanche to discover an unusual venue, and an artist even more astonishing! Head to the Académie du Climat for this Nuit Blanche 2026 edition!
