Caroline Clerc is a Los Angeles based artist working in photography. Her art practice is a means to research and communicate environmental concerns and re-frame our relationship with ecology. Her work is first performed though an immersion in the environment through long walks. Images are then composited into a single photo in which subtle shifts in perspective and spatial incongruities destabilize the viewer’s relationship to the landscape. Clerc also construct in-studio staged photographs using methods that recycle and repurpose discarded materials and explore alternative means of display. Clerc’s work has been exhibited in galleries in Los Angeles, nationally, and internationally including Aleksanterin linna, Finland; Kunstbezirk Galerie, Germany; Caetani Cultural Centre, Canada; and Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, among others. Artist residencies include Obracadobra, Oaxaca, Mexico; Nordic Artists’ Centre, Norway; Nature, Art & Habitat Residency, Taleggio Valley, Italy; Taft-Nicholson Center for Environmental Studies, Montana; Caetani Cultural Centre, Canada; NAIRS Foundation, Switzerland; Serlachius Residency, Finland; Prairie Ronde Residency, Michigan; and the Helene Wurlitzer Residency, New Mexico. She is an Associate Professor of Teaching at the University of Southern California.
