For Nuit Blanche 2026, your silhouette is transformed into digital matter at the Conservatoire Gabriel Fauré.

Jisoo Yoo presents Je(u), an interactive video installation exploring identity, traces, and illusion, open to the public free of charge at the Conservatoire Gabriel Fauré for Nuit Blanche on June 6, 2026.

What if our image disappeared as quickly as it appeared? For Nuit Blanche 2026, the Conservatoire municipal Gabriel Fauré, in Paris’s 5th arrondissement, hosts Je(u), an interactive video installation by artist Jisoo Yoo, this Saturday, June 6, 2026. Open to the public free of charge from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m., the work invites contemporary-art enthusiasts to step into a space where the body, the image, and the traces left by visitors are transformed into digital matter. A simple way to approach a complex topic: what we reveal of ourselves, what we leave behind, and what shifts when we encounter others.

With Je(u), the visitor is not merely a spectator. As soon as they step into the installation, their image appears and then dissolves into particles within a virtual realm. The colors each person wears shape these traces, which evolve, intersect, and mingle with those of other participants. Gradually, the line between "me" and "the other" blurs. The work therefore speaks to a more fluid sense of identity than we often assume—one built from passages, encounters, and imprints that never stay exactly the same.

Jisoo Yoo, a France-based artist, works across installation, performance, video and sculpture. A graduate of Fresnoy and ENSAPC, she probes the social and cultural structures that shape how we perceive the world and live with others. For this presentation, the installation benefits from the partnership and support of Fresnoy, as well as the backing of the Conservatoire municipal Gabriel Fauré. In this venue traditionally devoted to artistic training, Nuit Blanche opens up a different relation to creation here, more immediate, where the audience themselves become part of the experience.

Here, the theme of collective connection isn’t conveyed through a grand statement, but through what visitors leave behind as they step into the installation. A splash of color, a silhouette, a movement—these alter the image before merging with the traces left by others. For Nuit Blanche 2026, the Conservatoire Gabriel Fauré thus becomes a space of very direct experience: you participate, you see your passage transform, then the work goes on, almost unowned by anyone.
