Clara J:son Borg (Sweden) is an artist working within the field of moving image making and performance. She completed her BA at HDK Steneby, Gothenburg University and her MA at The Piet Zwart Institute, Willem De Kooning Academy.
Clara understands her artistic practices as a capacity existing within a performative framework. An energy that holds her artistic investigations consisting of theoretical and academic research and explorations of image making, storytelling, non-representational movement practices. Work that materialises itself through filmmaking, performance compositions and experimental writing. Notions that she sees having fluid relationships and are in a continuous influential exchange and support of one another.
Her work is guided by a research trajectory revolving around ontologies surrounding the human body, its performance strategies, political subjects and chorographical production of space. It is also guided by a trajectory focusing on knowledge hierarchies, knowledge production and how consciousness plays out as an infrastructure within a boundary area where human vulnerability intersects with political, social and natural forces. Something that is based on and linked to the history of human philosophy and ideas.
