Clara Feder


Born in Paris, France.

Currently, She works and lives in Paris and Aix en Provence.

Clara Feder is a multi-media artist who explores the underlying fragility of human beings confronted to society.

Wether by staging and photographing her lost characters in infinite landscapes, or by confronting real people to one of our deepest fragilities, -Temptation -, Clara Feder’s redemptive questioning mirrors universal concerns and fears.

She currently develops The Light Travelers (Photography) and The Wall of Temptation project (Worldwide/participative+interactive/performance Installation/Photography/ Internet)

“The Light Travelers were born in Shanghai. They are sons and daughters of my fascination for China.They belong to the city lights and the immensity of Chinese mega-cities. They also convey the feeling of loneliness and strangeness one might have when living in such cities, wherever they are, metaphoric of our lives in general in our information saturated, orwellian world.

The Light Travelers are figurines I’ve covered in gesso and gel and sculpted until they suit my needs of a faceless, white, unrecognizable individual.”

——Clara Feder

生于巴黎。现在巴黎和普罗旺斯工作与生活。

她是一位集多媒体艺术家,作家及电影制作人为一身的女性。她曾就读于纽约大学的电影学院以及巴黎第八大学。她的作品曾在纽约、巴黎、伦敦各地展出。今年九月,她带着“Light Travelers 光之旅行者”系列来到上海,举办了她在上海的首次摄影个展。

Clara Feder的作品探索人类面对社会的潜在脆弱。她抑或布置和拍摄无边景色中迷路的角色,抑或让现实中的人们面对诱惑,这一我们最深层的脆弱. 艺术家救赎般的质疑反映出普遍的疑虑和恐惧。

“《Light Travelers》诞生于上海。他们是我对中国着迷的结晶。他们属于中国大都市的灯光以及巨大面积。他们也表达了一个人住在这类城市中可能感受到的孤独和不合群,并暗喻我们在这个信息过量的世界中普遍的生活状态。”

“我用石膏和凝胶涂抹小雕像,直到他们成为我满意的没有面孔、雪白、难以辨认的个体,从而诞生为《光之旅行者》”。   — Clara Feder
