Bio: Focusing on the body, Clarisse Hahn’s work adopts its way of taking a frontal approach to the presence and constitution of others with tremendous healthy, lustful rawness. In keeping with Clarisse’s style, the "Boyzone" series (started in 1998 and still ongoing) picks out from the buzz of the world a few gestures, a few movements by ordinary male figures captured in their normal activities: soldiers, young lads, workers, sportsmen, a dog handler… With her primary forms of description free of any narrative element, Clarisse Hahn locates her work in the original tradition of the analytical series that run from Étienne-Jules Marey to Phill Niblock or Harun Farocki
