About
In Breaking Waves, Clara Jo researches myths and political entanglements around the distribution of disease across the Afrasian Sea (Indian Ocean), often recounted in ways that protect an imperialist narrative. Part of the exhibition is the Dutch premiere of the fictional documentary Nests of Basalt, Nests of Wood, in which the artist combines 3D animation with filmed footage.
Clara Jo, who was the Atelier KITLV-Framer Framed artist in residence in 2023, will also present new work produced during her research at the KITLV archive. The exhibition will be open until 14 July 2024.
