Biography /
Clara Bonnes

After earning her Bachelor’s in the aesthetics and science of art at the Sorbonne in Paris, Clara Bonnes completed her Master's in visual arts and media at UQAM. Her research dealt with the ways in which various portraits can be revealed through the perception of space, both public and intimate. Her video installations have been exhibited at the Musée Régional de Rimouski, the Art Mûr gallery in Montréal, L’Écart, a centre for contemporary art in Rouyn Noranda, Agora / Festif, the VAV-Concordia gallery and CDEx-UQÀM in Montréal, the Centre régional d’art contemporain de Soisson in France, and the Michel Journiac gallery in Paris. She is interested in the gaps it is possible to create in public spaces. This interest led her to arrange various nocturnal video projections in urban spaces during the Itinéraire Bis and Nuits Blanches events at CDEX in Montréal, among others. Active member of Vidéographe and the board of directors of Dare-Dare, she has also participated in the organisation of the video projection events EICV 2004 and EICV 2005 as well as Itinéraire Bis 2005.
