ABOUT
Sofie McClure is an artist based in Naarm, practising in film and performance. She is interested in our physical relationship to the camera, viewing it as a sensory interface, constantly caught in material exchanges. In recent works, she has explored ropes connected to cameras, bodies, and screens, as a material inviting divergent pulls and directions. After completing a BA at the University of Melbourne (2018-20) majoring in Philosophy and Literature, for her practice-led Honours at RMIT, she studied Media and Communication (2021), writing her thesis on decentring our visual relation to film, inviting haptic modes of making. She opens phenomenological questions within her practice, exploring a process of disjoining the senses and drawing paths between registers of perception. She is a part of Dogmilk Films, and her work has been shown at festivals and galleries, including Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery, Now or Never Festival, St Kilda Festival, ACMI, Signal, Miscellania, Quality, 138 gallery, GalleryGallery, and Rumata Artspace. She hosts WIP Live at Quality, a monthly night for sharing work-in progess live works of any medium.
