Born 1966, France.
Lives and works in Aubervilliers.
The search for "being in the world" is at the heart of Clarisse Tranchard's artistic approach. His work explores places of anger and helplessness, and looks at the issues raised by the world around us. Whether they take the form of sculptures, installations, performances, drawings, videos or paintings, his productions evoke the loss of our instinct for survival and all sensation of reality, and deliver, between contemplation and sideration, how our self-destructive behaviors lead us to the end of our species. This violence permeates us all, and so much so that we do not see it anymore, even in headlines in newspapers or on the internet. We suffer as much as we create it. The revolt does not growl, the revolution will not break out. Resistance must come out of our classic heroic-romantic schemas, it must move. We do not build history, we just try to survive beyond our contradictions.
How to resist today?
