Clio Van Aerde is a transdisciplinary artist whose practice draws attention to the often-overlooked nuances of everyday life, investigating the entanglement of humans, non-humans, and the spaces they inhabit. Her work explores the poetic and subversive potentials of these interactions, fostering environments of idleness, absurdity, and critical reflection. Central to her approach are embodied experiences, heightened spatial awareness, and an exploration of temporality. Grounded in posthumanist and queer feminist perspectives, Van Aerde’s practice challenges normative constructs of productivity, aiming to reshape perceptions of labour and everyday performativity while envisioning alternate realities.
