Chloë Delanghe (b.1991, Ostend) is a visual artist and filmmaker working predominantly with lens based media. Her work dissects imaginations of intimacy, stitching together stories and images relating to family, class and the camera. Her practice presents itself as an entangled knot of vernacular photographs where beloved faces, haunted objects and rooms can produce disturbing yet beautiful affections. Blurring cinematic and photographic genres, her work examines the implications of looking itself.

Delanghe just finished a first mid-length film, Hexham Heads in collaboration with Mattijs Driesen, which premiered at Berwick Film and Media Arts Fetsival and won La giuria studenti del Concorso Pesaro Nuovo Cinema at The 60th Pesaro Film Festival. She is currently developing a new photobook which has been supported by VOCATIO. She was awarded a VOCATIO award for Fine Arts in 2021.

Her first book, titled Reasons to Be Cheerful, was published in 2016 by WIELS and Motto Books.

Her work has been exhibited internationally at The Grand Chelsea in New York, Harlan Levey Projects in Brussels, De Brakke Grond in Amsterdam, WIELS in Brussels, TOKAS Hongo in Tokyo, SIZE Matters in Vienna, Extracity Kunsthal in Antwerp, S.M.A.K. in Ghent, ING Art Centre in Brussels, Beursschouwburg in Brussels, and screened at film festivals / art centres such as EMAF in Osnabrück, Art Cinema OFFoff in Ghent, AT HOME WITH in Espoo, CINEMATEK in Brussels, Visions du Réel in Nyon, Courtisane in Ghent.

Delanghe has taken part in various residency programmes such as WIELS, Brussels (2015); FLACC, Genk (2017); STRT KIT AAIR, Antwerp (2018); Tokyo Arts and Space, Tokyo (2019); Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris (2022).
