Clarissa Baumann
Like her work in its many forms—books, installations, performances and videos—the practice of Clarissa Clarissa Baumann (born 1988 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, lives in Montpellier, France) resists generic assignments. Initially trained at the School of Industrial Design in Rio de Janeiro and at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, she worked with dance and circus before joining the master's program in Montpellier. On the lookout for the imperceptible gestures of everyday life, she instructs an intimate dialogue between architecture, body and memory.
Personal and affective references are intertwined with the facts of history, spaces meet, a cartography is invented.

Crossing
This publication presents research conducted by visual artist and choreographer Clarissa Bauman over two years, in the frame of the exerce MA in choreography and performance (National Choreographic Center of Montpellier / Occitanie). Here, writing becomes movement, a weaving of words, gestures, images, and drawings that rub against each other in a dialogue articulated from page to page.
