Claire Hilgers explores intimacy and the slow contemplation of the passing of time. Inspired by poetic texts as well as the Japanese philosophical and aesthetic concept of Wabi-Sabi, Claire Hilgers collects traces of lived experience. At Vertige art gallery, she is presenting a series of drawings, collages, assemblages on paper and prints of various tree leaves gathered during the autumn. By highlighting humble materials – everyday objects or elements from nature – she creates works that reveal the cycle of the seasons and the nature of impermanence. The exhibition’s title, ‘Effeuillages’, suggests a gradual stripping away that reveals the beauty of imperfection and simplicity.
