Céline Ruault is a multidisciplinary artist based in Montreuil and currently resident at Villa Belleville. Through set design, video, textiles and object making, she questions the social and aesthetic mechanisms that permeate fashion, money, work hierarchies and the circulation of images. Her practice draws as much on industrial tools (textiles, advertising, popular surfaces) as on documentary and performative strategies to produce narratives about value, vulnerability and the way bodies deal with contemporary injunctions.

Her projects appreciate humour, criticism and melancholy, seeking forms where analysis excludes neither tenderness nor distance. Her film Dancing Money (2024–26) continues this research by articulating image construction, affective economics and systems of success.
