About Louis Braddock Clarke

Louis Braddock Clarke

Louis Braddock Clarke is an artist and researcher entangling notions from geology, deep-time cinema, and esoteric philosophy. Listening and amplification as methods have become key approaches to their work relating to disrupted ecologies. Through field work, film-making, sonic tuning, and divinating geologies their projects seek to speculate on the future surfaces of the Earth. Braddock Clarke’s relationship with the Geographical Arts is embedded in their formative years in Cornwall, surrounded by radon moorlands, granite quoits, shifting isolines, pixies, tin mines and trans-Atlantic cable systems. These entangled Earth energies have become paramount to their ongoing research relating to technologies and terrains.


Their artworks contest western scientific histories by stepping towards the anomaly as a form of reimagining. Through various minerals and magnitudes the works become forms of geological cinema, questioning human-centric notions of time by immersing in equations of Deep Time. The projects are made in close collaboration with geologists, collectives, astrologers, mediums, indigenous communities, aerobic bacterias, sonic ghosts, and more-than-humans. The concept of a lab as a space of emerging from sits central to the production of the artworks.

Louis Braddock Clarke’s works have been shown internationally at major galleries and festivals including: Rencontres Paris/Berlin, SeeyouSound, Venice Biennale Musica, Sonic Acts, Rewire, NTMoFA, Noorderlicht Biennale, Kunstervien Arnsberg, Sounds of Silence, Netherlands Film Festival, FILE Brazil, Digital Arts Taipei, Macau Design Museum, MU Hybrid Art House, W139, OT301, Loods6, Casino Luxembourg, Quartair, Stroom, SHAPE+, Recontemporary, CRAG Gallery, Museum of Mines and Metal Brazil, WEST Museum, Het Hem, and reviewed by magazines such as the WIRE, CLOT, DAMN, AQNB, Metropolis M.
