Clémentine Adou (b. 1988, Paris, France) lives and works in Paris. Adou’s work is characterized by an economy of production and means, using processes of subtraction and recovery that incorporate everyday objects and materials. Contemporary conditions are diffused throughout her work through spatial and contextual forms that foreground processes of visibility and constraint.
