Clémence Althabegoïty is a designer and visual artist based in Paris. She graduated from the Centre for Research Architecture of Goldsmiths (University of London) in 2019, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2018 and the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2016. Her practice is a hybrid between design, art and science. In collaboration with scientific institutes such as the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Observatoire de Paris and BruitParif, she is interested in silence, water and air, and their interactions with matter. Based on contextual analysis and material research, she designs objects, installations and scenographies. Her practice seeks to create alternative solutions, raise awareness and think critically about issues such as rising temperatures, pollution (noise, air and soil) and water scarcity. By applying the unique properties of materials, each project becomes an opportunity to explore new mediums and create site-specific works.
