Chloe Hallberg

Chloe Hallberg’s work revolves around safety in social spaces, consciousness in the mundane and hostile architecture. Exploring theories of anthropocentrism and ecocentrism using my past work as a reflection.  Hallberg makes work that is non-confrontational with aims to be non-aggressive, this is achieved by making art that could be very passive and maybe even easily ignored. Working with mostly performance, video and insulations her work is often tactile and very visual.

 

In past projects she has used her own body and experiences as an almost narcissist view on the world, and reflects that in her art.

 

 Hallberg’s current project is very fluent and experimental by discovering what it means to occupy a space and using the reflection of her own body in a time and place. Hallberg uses soil as a means to preform, showing what it is to be “used” and “decomposed” in a social space. The idea of being totally covered representing death but also the chance of new life. The art is a symbol of being part of something much bigger but it could be described as narcissistic because Hallberg is only talking from her point of view.
