Clara J:son Borg

video - performance - artistic research - audiovisual - writing

Clara J:son Borg is a Swedish artist based in Rotterdam (NL). Her artistic practice exists within a performative framework in which she researches onto-epistemic openings surrounding the human body, its performance strategies and political subjects. She also investigates knowledge hierarchies and how this plays out between human and non-human entities. Through storytelling she lets her works exist within a boundary area where human vulnerability intersects with political, social and natural forces.
