Based between Copenhagen and Paris.
Thinking through dynamic encounters of human and inanimate entanglements, questions of agency and hierarchy, sensuality, playfulness, and tension, Clea Filippa creates installations and immersive performances across several mediums. By repurposing and re-configuring, often broken or discarded, objects, the work triggers distorted logics and a re-enchantment of materiality.
