KOORTSDROOM
2023 - ongoing

︎













Chiara Pastoor (1995) is a Dutch interdisciplinary artist, working with the medium of film, photography, poetry and performance.


She continuously plays with the mixture of surrealism, erotica and comedy, creating an almost recognisable reality. A non-judgemental safe haven for herself and her audience to escape into. Where vulnerability, shame and pleasure can freely exist.
