camille vivier

Born in 1977, Camille Vivier is a French photographer who lives and works in Paris. She studied at the Grenoble School of Art and Central Saint Martins in London. She received the Photography Prize at the Hyères International Festival of Fashion and Photography in 1998 and a Villa Medici international grant in 2002.

Working across photography, contemporary art and performance, Vivier stages bodies, objects and architecture in compositions that are theatrical, sensual and enigmatic. The body becomes a sculptural form, while objects and still lifes acquire an almost human presence. Drawing on art history, literature and cinema, her images explore the relationship between the living and the inanimate, the familiar and the uncanny.
