Lebanese Artist Ali Cherri Takes Over Prestigious Parisian Exhibition Site

Lebanese artist, sculptor, and filmmaker Ali Cherri has made a significant mark on the global art scene, and his latest achievement further cements his influence. Known for his thought-provoking explorations of history and heritage, Cherri is now taking over one of Paris’s most prestigious exhibition spaces, the Bourse de Commerce.

The exhibition, running from March 5, 2025 to August 25, 2025, will feature his installation “Twenty-Four Ghosts per Second”.

Drawing from Lebanon’s civil war and ongoing regional conflicts, Cherri breathes life into artifacts, creating ghostly figures caught between past and present.

His installations reflect on the manipulation of historical objects while paying homage to Jean Cocteau’s The Blood of a Poet, with handwritten excerpts evoking a passage between worlds.

“The grafts I make in my series of sculptures constitute a form of solidarity between bodies that have been shattered, fragmented, and violated, and which create a community by being fused together,” he explains.
