Camille Vivier

Camille Vivier was born in Paris, France, in 1977. She lives and works in Paris. She started photography when she was an editorial assistant at Purple magazine ten years ago. Since she has collaborated for various magazines (Acne paper, NY Times, Dazed & Confused, I-D…) and has exhibits her work in galleries and institutions (Stuart Shave Modern Art, London- Galerie Kamel Mennour, Paris, Capc, Bordeaux- MEP, Paris…)

In a reinterpretation of pictorial genres like nude or still life, fantastic bestiary or magical imagery, she creates her own personal mythology, taking inspiration into literature, cinema, painting and other cultural references more or less conscious. Her pictures are more into a mental and abstract sphere than a realistic world and her settings can be compared to small and fantastic theater scenes in which evolve whispering sculptures, mermaids and a world of curios. Recently she has started filmmaking in the line of her photographic work.
