I’m klēlo {clairelaurā}, a lyannèz, f°uyaya, interdisciplinary & investigator artist, and experimental filmmaker ƒrom Germany and Wanakaera {Martinique}. Through drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, video and sound, I explore the cosmorganic connections that shape and are shaped by the worlds that encompass and compose us — these links and places, real or imaginary, capable of petrifying us or vivifying us.
