Clint Baclawski is a contemporary artist whose work bridges photography, light, and technology to create immersive environments that challenge perception and redefine space. Using large-format analog film as his foundation, Baclawski reimagines traditional photography through the integration of scrolling mechanics, LED backlighting, and reflective materials—producing monumental light-based installations that unfold
Over the past two decades, Baclawski’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with solo presentations at the SPRING/BREAK Art Show in New York City, California Polytechnic State University, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, and most recently, Museum Belvédère in the Netherlands as part of the 2025 Noorderlicht International Photography Biennial. He has been awarded residencies with the Wassaic Project, the Santo Foundation, and Abigail Ogilvy Gallery’s Venice program, and received a Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship in Photography.
His work is held in public and private collections including the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Fidelity Investments, and Boston Children’s Hospital. He has also completed large-scale commissions for Google Cambridge, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Eastern Bank.
Baclawski earned his MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where he has taught since 2007, and his BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology. While his work embraces new media and technical innovation, he remains committed to shooting on large-format film—a meditative process that anchors his continued exploration of photographic form and luminous space.
