Set Design is at the heart of French Artist, Clarisse d'Arcimoles' (b. 1986) practice. Based in London she studied Set Design for Performance at Central Saint Martins followed by a Postgraduate course in photography, her work combines these two interests.
Fascinated by the idea of going back in time, and photography's strength to make memories tangible, d'Arcimoles' work derives from sustained relationships, sense of place and history and takes great satisfaction living within the fiction she is creating. Working mostly around family or anonymous photo archives, whether it is the subject or the media, d'Arcimoles' aims to illustrate the idea of memory, its impact, its limits, and its fading.
Throughout the years, Clarisse d'Arcimoles' has been taking commissions as a set designer while continuing developing her own art practice. Her work was first exhibited in the Photographers' Gallery graduate photography exhibition, Fresh Faced and Wild Eyed, 2010 and a solo exhibition, Forgotten Tale, 2016.
