Visite Privée: Art Visit Series
October 8th, 2025 @ Emanuela Campoli Gallery
Columbia alumni were welcomed by Inès Dahn and Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann, at Emanuela Campoli Gallery for a private guided tour of the exhibition Le coeur et les poumons. The visit was guided by the artist.
Badaut Haussmann turns to the heart—a site of affection and care, but also a contested space where emotional labour, desire and power are at stake. The works unfold continuously throughout the different rooms of the gallery with some series installed at a recurring pace, as if their nature could be revealed through their own variations. In her almost surgical actions, Badaut Haussmann dissects, subtracts but also inserts elements, repairing and diverting the function of existing iconography, films and objects.
The association between the heart and the home is read by Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann through the lens of feminist spatial theory. Space reflects and reinforces gender roles in a system of divides, out of which the public and the private is the most stubborn one.
