ABOUT
Sofie McClure is an artist based in Naarm. Working across film and performance, she explores the camera as a material participant in movement. Her practice has increasingly moved from cinema contexts into immersive live settings, harnessing the volatility of material exchange between bodies, objects and technologies. Body-led and interdisciplinary, her work asks phenomenological questions about how perception moves between, and becomes disjoined across, different sensory registers.
McClure completed a BA at the University of Melbourne (2018–20), majoring in Philosophy and Literature, before completing a practice-led Honours in Media and Communication at RMIT (2021), where she received First Class Honours. She is a member of Dogmilk Films and hosts WIP Live at Quality, a monthly night for sharing live works-in-progress across mediums.Her work has been presented at festivals and venues including Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery, ACMI, Now or Never Festival, St Kilda Festival, Signal, Quality, 138 Gallery, GalleryGallery and Rumata Artspace.
