Anouk De Clercq

Anouk De Clercq is a Brussels and Berlin-based artist and filmmaker whose practice is rooted in the poetic potential of moving images. She builds audiovisual environments that draw viewers into contemplative, imagined landscapes where image and sound converge into something sensed as much as seen. Her work emerges from the joy of collaboration — with composers, animators, and the viewer, whom she trusts to complete the work.

Her films and installations have been featured in major international exhibitions and film festivals, including the Berlinale, BOZAR, Centre Pompidou, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, MAXXI and the Tate Modern. Anouk De Clercq has also received numerous accolades, such as the Illy Prize at Art Brussels and the Prix Ars Electronica Honorary Mention.

Beyond her own work, she tends the ecosystem of artists’ film. She is co-founder of Auguste Orts, and initiator of Monokino, a nomadic cinema oriented around the sea. She is the author of Where is Cinema, published by Archive Books, and a studio professor at the KASK School of Arts.
