About the work
Clara trusts in the dazzle provoked by looking at the Sun —even if only indirectly— and in the momentary blindness it causes. Her recent photographic, installative, and performative studies operate within the brief temporal frame in which, with our face turned toward the Sun (the unmistakable symbol of all that is imperishable), our pupil contracts, our nose wrinkles, and our eyelids narrow, giving way to a kind of clairvoyance. Carlos Segura (Costa Rica, 2022)
