Live Wild
France
2018Artiste invité
At a time when digital elements are so present that fiction and reality can be mixed up, Camille Lévêque experimented a nonconformist artistic approach. In 2014, she founded the collective Live Wild, composed of women artists with their history, personalities, and origins. Camille Levêque conceived multiple layers of characters that question an idea: memory and progressive memory lapse. Every element of her own life is intentional: dates, names, and stories are hidden among other women’s stories. The collective challenges the very principle of creation.
About the artist
Camille Lévêque was born in Paris in 1985. As she was a student in Arts and Literature, she learnt by herself different techniques, especially in analogical photography. After she graduated, she travelled and documented her many trips through black and white photographs. In 2010, she started to work as an assistant editor for Magnum Photos in Paris. Her approach of photography keeps evolving, while focusing on themes like intimacy, and narration revolving around the practice of documentary and artistic photography.
