The MEP presents the first retrospective exhibition dedicated to French artist Camille Vivier, a prominent figure in contemporary photography. Through a selection of works where bodies, sculptural forms, and uncanny presences converse, a universe where both sensual and enigmatic unfolds, shaped by multiple references and unexpected visual echoes. Camille Vivier’s female figures fascinate as much as they unsettle, asserting the full power andcomplexity of their identities.
For over twenty-five years, Camille Vivier (b. 1977, France) has developed a practice at the intersection of fine art photography and fashion photography. Her work, centred on the body and still life, engages in a dialogue with commissions produced for major magazines. From these two facets emerges a singular visual language, where sensuality, mystery, and poetry intertwine to interrogate the relationship between the animate and the inanimate.
The exhibition retraces Camille Vivier’s entire artistic career through a thematic journey bringing together around ten series and nearly a hundred works: gelatin silver and digital prints, Polaroids, as well as works conceived specifically for the exhibition, some of which play with scale and presentation methods.
