Brasselet Camille

Camille Brasselet is a photographer from Rouen who now lives in Lyon.

After attending the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Saint Brieuc in 2015, where she experimented with painting, drawing, modeling and, above all, photography, she moved to Lyon to pursue advanced studies in photography.

Her work revolves around the body and the figure, combining both pictorial references and a certain form of strangeness. Her photographic approach attempts to apprehend the medium from different visual and plastic perspectives, gravitating around the world of images and their representations. “This figuration suggests an off-field, a mystery that becomes the flesh of the imagination. Like a half-open door leading to another, it’s a fragment of time that becomes the expression of a whole that’s always in retreat. In the end, it’s everything that escapes us, this gap that we can’t define and that goes beyond our understanding that attracts my curiosity.”

She exhibits her work in France at Arles and at the Maison des Arts Plastiques in Lyon, as well as in Italy at the Palazzo Bonaguro during the Biennale di Fotagrafia di Bassano and in Russia at the Fedini Gallery in Moscow.

In 2020, she was one of three winners of the Fotofever Prize, which highlights the work of young contemporary photographers. She was then shortlisted for the 26th HSBC Prize for Photography.

Her first book, The Sound of Silence, is published by Editions Bessard in 2021. She was subsequently awarded the Prix le19M for craft photography as part of the Prix Picto for fashion photography 2022.
