About

Camille Relet is a young French multi-disciplinary artist based in Wales.  Her practice addresses concepts such as the transient condition of one’s nature and identity in relation to language, territories, time, memory, and history. She considers visual connections to philosophy, literature, mythology and science as a method to synthesise social and political narratives whilst exploring the potential for photographic processes to be combined with other media to establish an ‘Anthropocene photography’.

Her work is informed by her personal experience with language and identity as well as her interest in geopolitics. Each project are connected and influence each other: there is a continuity in her interests and experiences, where each project is a different ramification of its predecessor.
