Project Room - Claudia Passeri

Claudia Passeri creates site-specific interventions and contextual pieces that explore human perception as it relates to place. The work takes on social, political and environmental aspects depending on the site and context in which it is placed. Her research has a neo-romantic aspect that seeks, often through the use of irony, to reveal the mechanisms that activate human creative processes and transform the way we see the world.
