ANOUK DE CLERCQ (b.1971, Belgium) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of film, music and architecture. With a background in both music and film, she creates immersive audiovisual experiences that often challenge traditional notions of narrative and perception.
De Clercq’s practice is characterised by a deep interest in the poetic potential of moving images. Her work often focuses on imaginary and utopian landscapes, which she brings to life through a combination of digital techniques and analogue sensibilities. By removing extraneous details, De Clercq invites viewers into contemplative spaces, often blurring the boundaries between the physical and the virtual, the visible and the imaginary.
Her recent work is based on the utopian idea of ‘radical empathy’, exploring the potential of audiovisual language to create possible worlds.
De Clercq’s work has been shown at Tate Modern, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid; MAXXI, Rome; Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève; BOZAR, Brussels; International Film Festival Rotterdam; Berlinale; and Ars Electronica, Linz, among others. She is a visiting professor of the School of Arts University College Ghent, a founding member of Auguste Orts, and the initiator of Monokino.
She is also the author of Where is Cinema, published by Archive Books.
