Artists in residence
Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.
Clara Jo
Year/s of residence : 2019, Cité internationale des arts
Visual arts
Clara Jo was born in the United States in 1986. She lives and works in Berlin. Clara Jo creates moving images and sculptural installations that reengage sensitive historical and ontological narratives in ways that entangle the senses, perceptions and constructed sociopolitical relationships embedded within human experience.
During the residency, Clara Jo will explore intersections, political entanglements and ruptures along epidemiological routes embedded within the Afrasian Sea, which have historically been narrated in fl awed terms to bolster the imperial nautical imaginary. She will trace maritime flows of not only human but also beyond-human encounters within pre-imperial currents. Her project Epidemiological routes and ruptures will also examine how these narratives have been represented throughout time along historical lines of contagion, which ultimately feeds into collective imaginations and fictions that arise around fear of contamination from the “non-human” world.
