Claudia Hill is an interdisciplinary artist, based in Berlin.[3] Her work engages in performance art,[4] costume[5][6] and stage design,[7] experimental film,[8][9] visual art[10] and sense-driven (somatic) form.[11] Her practice has been presented internationally at venues such as Mumok,[12] Centre Pompidou,[13][14] Paris Internationale,[11] Les Rencontres Internationales,[15] ZKM,[5] BAM,[16] HAU,[17][18][19] Broadway,[20] the Smithsonian[21] and New York Fashion Week.[22][23]

Background and Education

[edit]

Born in Germany, Hill comes from a background of tailors of Czech origin on her mother's side.[24] In 1993, she moved to New York to study contemporary dance.[6][2] Shortly after, she enrolled at FIT and Parsons.[1][2] At the same time, she began to work as a costume designer[25] and was admitted to the United Scenic Artists in 1997. She returned to Europe in 2008 and now lives in Berlin,[26] where she is an active member of the performing arts scene[27][17][18][28][29][30] and continues to work with textiles as a costume and stage designer.[31][32][33][34][35]

Fashion (1998–2011)

[edit]

In 1998, she founded two fashion labels, the eponymous Claudia Hill and The Number After 10,[36] which were presented and sold in Japan, the USA and Europe, at her own store,[37] in high-end boutiques, such as Barneys New York or Fred Segal[38][39] and later exclusively at private salons in limited editions.[26][36] Her New York Fashion Week shows were deemed unconventional and took the form of performances or installations,[40] often in collaboration with other artists, such as Asymptote Architecture[22] or Skúli Sverrisson.

Collaborations

[edit]

As her designs expanded beyond the boundaries of the fashion industry, she created the costumes for William Forsythe's Decreation in 2003[6][41] and for The Wooster Group's production of Hamlet in 2007.[42][43] She became a frequent collaborator of choreographer Meg Stuart, creating costumes for Sketches/Notebook[5][44] and Hunter,[45] the two productions that won Stuart the choreographer of the year award from Tanz.
