Claire Jervert is an inter-disciplinary artist exploring screen -based technologies since the ‘90’s with an increasing emphasis on combining multiple technologies and traditional materials and methods.
“I am drawn to explore the impact of systems of control, power, and agency in our everyday lives: who controls the systems, who submits to them and who is acted upon by them.”

These 2 x 5 inch Conté pencil drawings depict the interiors of various rooms in what are sometimes called “billionaire bunkers"--luxurious underground shelters in which the superwealthy can take refuge in the event of an ecological, economic or terror-precipitated catastrophe. The general feel of the work is that of a glossy magazine pictorial displaying high-end architectural interiors, while the minuscule scale suggests the relative insignificance and vanity of this gesture in the face of global collapse.
All works 2 x 5 inches, conte, charcoal, chalk on Ingres paper
