Cédric Maridet is a French artist based in Hong Kong. His work takes listening and field recording as primary modes of relation and encounter with the more-than-human world. From fieldwork, it extends into sound installation, sound composition, photography, sculpture, and works on paper. Drawing on research across literature, science, and history, his projects construct speculative narratives and alternative landscapes where past and future, human and non-human, coexist and collide.

Maridet studied literature and sociolinguistics at Paris VII University and holds a PhD in Media Arts from City University of Hong Kong. He was awarded the Gold Award in the Media Arts category at the 19th IFVA and the HKADC Media Artist of the Year in 2014.

His work has been presented through residencies (Asia Art Archive, The Arctic Circle, 2024), solo and group exhibitions (Blindspot Gallery, 2P Contemporary, Tate Modern, Museo Reina Sofía, Stanley Picker Gallery London, Ars Electronica), and performances (ICA London, Art Basel Hong Kong, Rockbund Art Museum Shanghai). Since 2017 he has collaborated closely with artist Angela Su, composing sound for her films including The Afterlife of Rosy Leavers (2017), Cosmic Call (2019), and The Magnificent Life of Lauren O (2022), the latter commissioned by M+ Museum for Hong Kong’s participation in the 59th Venice Biennale. His writings have been published in three books — two on sound (Around, soundpocket, 2011; Fractured Scenes: Underground Music-Making in Hong Kong and East Asia, Palgrave Macmillan, 2021) and one on curating (Who Cares? 16 Essays on Curating in Asia, Para/Site, 2010).

He is Associate Professor and Director of the Research Postgraduate Programme at the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of soundpocket, a non-profit organisation promoting sound art and culture in Hong Kong. Selected works are documented on his platform monème and released on CD, LP, and artist book.

His works are collected by Hong Kong Museum of Art and private collectors.
