Biography

Initially trained as a composer, Céleste Boursier-Mougenot is internationally recognised for large-scale acoustic installations that draw on nature and the rhythms of everyday life to explore the relationship between sound, space, and movement. Working with domestic and natural materials, he creates environments that engage the viewer’s senses and invite a state of rêverie, heightening our awareness of the perceptual world around us. Boursier-Mougenot’s clinamen has been presented internationally at leading institutions, most recently at Park Avenue Armory, New York (2026), and Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, Paris (2025). Other recent solo exhibitions include FRAC Normandie, Caen (2026); MAAT Gallery, Lisbon (2026); Arter Museum, Istanbul (2019); Shanghai 21st Century Minsheng Art Museum (2017); and Copenhagen Contemporary (2016). In 2015, he represented France at the 56th Venice Biennale.
