Researching the everyday:
How do we deal with daily rituals?
Can our daily routine become an obsession?
Clarisse tries to create a stillness and looks for the relationship and disproportion between man and object, between body and mind.
In this way she investigates how an object can evolve or influence an emotion or action, and tries to make the invisible, visible.
Through various media she tries to represent an imbalance of the body to better understand it mentally.
In 2012 she graduated from Sint-Lucas, Antwerp with a Masters in Jewelry and Goldsmithing. In 2016 she founded her own jewelry label Woche. Besides she creates installations and objects which give expression to a constant curiosity towards
her environment. The past years she exposed in, among others, The marked body, Valerie Traan (Antwerp, BE), chapter one ≈ chapter one, BIKINI Art Space (Basel, CH) and at arts festival Watou 2018 (Watou, BE). Clarisse Bruynbroeck also
made expositions in cooperation with Ralph Collier.
The duo organized the group exposition En Cours d’installation for valerie_traan gallery in 2017 at Rivoli (Brussels, BE) and Fake Flowers in 2019, a group exhibition at THE FRONT SPACE about crossing the border between fiction and reality.
