Harvest

Clémence Lollia Hilaire

Clémence Lollia Hilaire received a contribution for her project Harvest: a material experiment, which involves seaweed seedling and other cultivated fibres.

Clémence Lollia Hilaire is a visual artist based in Amsterdam, whose practice often looks into processes in which sense of self and belonging are constructed, in the geographical and diasporic context of the (French) Caribbean. This manifests in the form of videos, sculptures and audio works, which are as many attempts to challenge limits of purity and essentialism. Her search for moments of ontological slippage and category transgression lead to constructing narratives where records of personal experiences loosely coexist with more than human and mythical protagonists.
