Wächter, Cleo

Cleo Wächter’s diverse interests can be reduced to the question: How do we inscribe and read meaning into the landscape? She focuses on the broad spectrum of urban and ecological environments and explores these themes through her (visual) art, writing, curating, friendships and bureaucratic practice. She is currently a research assistant in the Art, Culture and History Department of the Mitte District Office, coordinating art in urban space and art in architecture. She is also part of the artistic team of the municipal gallery Bärenzwinger. Her work has been presented and published at Stroom Den Haag, the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht and the Floating University. She holds a BA in Documentary Photography from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague (2015) and an MA in Visual and Media Anthropology from the Free University of Berlin (2021).
