Clémence B. T. D. Barret is a self- taught French artist based in Asia.

Intimacy, the quest for a better life, belonging, identity, and migration are some favorite notions she has been exploring.
She has often used her own experiences as filters to enter into, explore and understand these notions in new geographies and communities. Her expressions are composed of varied media - video, photography, sound, movement, objects, paintings - combined together or not.
Some of her latest works pose critical questions about gender and national identity, as well as the concept of otherness.

Her work has been shown in France, in Italy, in Spain, in Finland, in the UK, in Greece, in Serbia, and in Russia, in India, in Thailand, in Myanmar, also in Argentina, in Colombia, in Mexico, in Morocco and in the US.
