Claudia Passeri

Claudia Passeri creates artworks that are intimately and ambiguously in relation to the environment in which they are produced, thus questioning our perception of place and space. Depending on site and context, her pieces take on different social, political and environmental connotations. With a hint of irony, her research has a neo-romantic dimension that aims to reveal mechanisms that activate creation and challenge our view of the world. During her residency in Montreal, the artist will carry out a research on the vast natural territories and their economic, migratory and social management policies. Closely connected to memory, hopes and clichés, the artist questions our perception of landscapes from both local and outside points of view.
