Photographer and filmmaker Maria Clara Macrì (°1992, Italy) is known for her empathetic approach to the people she portrays. Her often intimate work is infused with tenderness and sensuality.

FOMUTATIONS is an experimental format of in depht talks by internationally renowned image makers. Four times a year, we welcome leading national and international speakers to the FOMU foyer. They dissect contemporary visual culture through their practice and offer insights into how they spark imagination within this complex landscape. These are not monologues, but visual presentations— questions are sparked, discussions catch fire. Thoughts will mutate. And perspectives will shift.

FOMUTATIONS is a collaboration between FOMU and creative agency Mutant™
