Claire Waf­fel was born in Lüden­scheid, Ger­many. She stu­died media stu­dies in Nor­wich, per­for­mance in Mont­pel­lier and pho­to­gra­phy in Lon­don. Waffel’s works include video, instal­la­ti­ons, pho­to­gra­phy, col­lage and archi­tec­ture. Often her pro­jects revolve around tem­po­ral and spa­tial struc­tures and their role in people’s lives, as well as con­nec­tions bet­ween land­scape, archi­tec­ture and ideo­logy. From 2015–2016 she worked as an Artis­tic Asso­ciate to the Master’s degree pro­gramme „Kunst im öffent­li­chen Raum und neue künst­le­ri­sche Strategien/Public Art and New Artis­tic Stra­te­gies“ at the Bau­haus-Uni­ver­si­tät in Weimar.
