Biography

Claire Galloni d'Istria is a visual anthropologist and biologist focused on the renegotiations between humans and non-humans from a posthumanist perspective. Her research delves into the dynamics between wildlife, domesticated animals, and mountainous environments, investigating how these entities collaboratively shape alpine spaces amidst rapid transformations. Utilizing photography and sound, Claire employs a multimodal anthropology approach to document the intricate relationships at play in the northern Alps. Her artistic practice has been widely exhibited in galleries and festivals, showcasing her dedication to exploring multispecies entanglements and geographical imaginations. In 2025, she received research grants from the Interdisciplinary Research Center on Mountain (CIRM-Université de Lausanne) and the cultural service of the Valais canton.
