The artist describes his work as “a burrow,
a refuge in absurdity. It takes shape through the convergence of multiple mediums: photography, performance, painting, costume and prop making. These elements come together to form an environment conducive to triggering my performances.”

In 2021, the Nantes School of Fine Arts hosted his solo exhibition, “ba c’çasbot du goliard.” Clément Courgeon also completed a residency in 2022 at the French Institute in Vilnius, Lithuania, and performed for numerous artists, including Felix Gonzalez-Torres, at the Bourse de Commerce in 2022.
