Meet Sophia and Cecilia
Sophia Kraft and Cecilia Plumptre
ceceandsophiarising is comprised of two artists in constant dialogue. Sophia Kraft is from Idaho in the United States and Cecilia Plumptre is from Kent, England. The two met in Paris in 2019, they started collaborating immediately after meeting and shared lockdown together, pushing their alliance further as the two only had each other as a subject. ceceandsophiarising explores themes of the natural vs. the fabricated, naivety, and desire. Their work seeks to present the public with parts of their own private life, but with playing and at times completely fabricating, what the private is. The two skip around that delicate line that discusses why have we classified this as private and that as public? Why not vice versa? Primarily the artist duo uses photography and video to illustrate their thoughts. More recently the two have been exploring writing and fashion. Cece and Sophia were both born in Summer 2000, making them both 21.
