Clara Roumégoux is interested in both the relations of production and the pressure to be productive.
Addressing topics such as food, design or sleep, her critical perspective unfolds through the subversion of items so familiar that they became signifiers of our times. Through the use of moving image, print, installation, cooking, or (teasing) hints at painting, Clara’s work examines what is taken for granted and tackles the tendency towards anomie. Her practice blurs the boundaries between domesticity and industry, between care and efficiency.

Vertical Drifts unfolds as an interplay of screen-printed tissue paper, capturing an ambiguous moment between a kiss and resuscitation. The slatted curtains, echoing the structured anonymity of office blinds, modulate light and privacy, their green hue is a nod to clinical sterility. A minimalist slope emerges, inviting quiet contemplation and rest, questioning the rifts of post-modern heritage. Through re-architecture, the piece balances the dualities of suffocation and salvation, neutrality and industrial dominance.

Lose Control depicts a group of people gathering around the extraction of their urine. The protagonists, embodying adolescent symbols, emotionally sing their favorite songs over the sound of their streams, subverting the image of masculinity that could be associated with it. Connected to references from video clip imagery and DIY film practices, the music becomes the conduit for identity and relational construction.

The video was shown in 2023 at Tunnel Tunnel, Lausanne, for the Carepackage exhibition curated by Clara Chavan and Camille Zaerpour.
In 2024, it was also shown as part of The World Pulse Beats Beyond My Door exhibition curated by Gunner Dongieux, Lili Marto, and Katia Leonelli.
